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.Born in Chester, Pennsylvania, Griffin graduated from Swarthmore College in 1910, where he was an All-American basketball player.
