Summary

Pathe synopsis: First a visit to a well-known landmark familiar to mariners the world over: the lighthouse at Dungeness in Kent, where we go one better than our seafaring friends by taking a lighthouse keeper’s view of the proceedings. Then over to a factory in Crawley, Kent, where we see the skill and care which goes into the making of lighthouse equipment - equipment that is exported to all the rocky corners of the globe.
