The infinitive
Can't clearly understand this sentence, its second part:
Nylon is found to have been made in several different firms; the first to be produced commercially was the most important.
Оказывается, нейлон производили различные фирмы; нейлон, который нужно было производить в промышленных масштабах был самым важным.
Am I right: the first = nylon in this sentence?

Thank you, John-Paul. In Russian, we often do the same way :) But for foreigner it might look obscure.

Yes. The first [nylon] to be produced commercially was the most important. We seem to leave a lot of words out of places because we imply them. Not always helpful though! :)
