Frank Hastings Griffin (July 16, 1886 – October 14, 1974) invented the double-godet, a special stretch-spinning process that changed artificial silk to rayon. Artificial silk was originally too soft for practical use, but with the double-godet it became usable as rayon in many industrial products such as tire cords and clothing.
