Summary

Pathe synopsis: ...today’s motorists have a war of their own to contend with: the battle of the parking meters. We watch the monsters being made. And most of them are for export so the firm at Kingston-on-Thames, that makes most of these sixpence-eaters, keeps large stocks of coins from Hong Kong, France, Italy, Holland, Germany and Australia and all places that import this brand of unhappiness.
