Apparatus for braiding an article from a plurality of fibers, comprising a plurality of flexible annular members of substantially the same size which are disposed side-by-side in axially aligned relation and have means for supporting fiber carriers for axial movement relative thereto. The annular members are mounted for circumferential movement about a common central axis relative to each other. A plurality of rows of fiber carriers are mounted on the annular members for axial movement relative to the annular members. Actuating means are provided to move the annular members and to move the rows of fiber carriers axially in a predetermined manner to intertwine the fibers.

Braiding apparatus

A chemical solution for effecting the rapid destruction of microfilm products comprising a mixture of 4-butyrolactone, methyl Cellosolve acetate and aqueous sodium hypochlorite.

Chemical composition for the destruction of microfilm products

A method for the pyrolytic destruction of microfilm products by utilizing hot silicon oil heated to a temperature of about 250.degree. C. Destruction of the various types of microfilm is accomplished within a five minute time frame.
