Summary
Pathe synopsis: There are few more awe-inspiring demonstrations of sheer power than a giant crane in action. Steel monsters like this can shift in a few hours loads that would take men days. But it’s still man’s guiding hand that controls this power, and expert drivers like Bill Goldring can accomplish virtually anthing - like gently picking up eggs in the giant grab.
