Summary

Pathe synopsis: Not all scientists devote their time to nuclear physics and space travel; some choose more restful subjects - like women’s nightwear. A specially designed bedroom at a knitting mill in Elstree, Hertfordshire, is used solely for research into this delicate subject - the stresses and strains which seams and shoulder straps will withstand. No detail is overlooked and every point that effects movement or comfort in any way is examined.
