Erinoid. n. name given to a plastics material manufactured from
milk: (arch.) artificial horn: also the name of a Company in
Stroud, Gloucestershire where it was produced throughout much of
the 20th century! This publication tells the story of the
development of the Company into a major British manufacturer of
plastics materials. It is extensively illustrated with historic
photographs of the site, the manufacturing processes, the workforce
and even the company's splendid sporting facilities. Erinoid was
used to make fountain pens, buttons, knitting needles and combs. It
would have been handled daily by almost everyone in Great Britain
but is now almost completely forgotten.
