Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: A Job for Life. DESCRIPTION: The higher you build, the bigger the window cleaning problem, but at this new skyscraper in Manchester, they’ve solved it with a mobile rig.

MS crane swings round to side of building. MS workmen in crane. CU roll of wire. (5 shots) men cleaning windows from crane. (5 shots) interior shot - men cleaning office windows. GV pan up building.
