Summary

Pathe synopsis: ... a scene from outer space. Suddenly we’ve taken a moment of time and stretched it out, at three thousand pictures a second, to show us what happens when materials are tested to breaking point. We see a TV tube cave in, then explode, before going on, among other things, to examine at two hundred times its material speed, the storm in a teacup that occurs when a drop of milk arrives. [Shows the Ellis Research Laboratory at Albury, Guildford, Surrey.]
