Summary

Pathe synopsis: Let’s turn a full circle, back to the days of 1874 when our Victorian ancestors were raving about a new invention - the sewing machine. You can see a selection of them from a Swiss museum, but they look primitive by the standards of today’s multi-gadget developments. Now the electric wizards hum over the cloth in a symphony of light and ingenuity.
