Summary

NFA synopsis: Historic excerpt from 33 year old film, possibly Electricity in An Iron Ore Mine, by B.T.H. General scenes are shown of a mine, drilling underground, both with old hand drills and electric ones, and the mine manager and his assistant. In general the film emphasises the modern use of electricity in the mines. A rugger match follows, presumably a works team, with a steel works in the background.
