Summary

Pathe synopsis: At a factory [Microcell] in Camberley, Surrey, we see something of the skill and care which goes into the complex task of turning ordinary glass into glass fibre, a material twice as strong as high-quality steel. Although it is used in the manufacture of anything from tea-trays to motor cars, this time we see it being used to make a portable swimming pool!
