- Summary
- NFA synopsis: It’s surprising what goes into a can. Shots of a tinning-line for tin plate, then to the Metal Box Co. where various tin plates for commercial companies, eg. Johnson’s Wax, are being printed and pressed. The old-fashioned hand-making of tins and new tin-making machinery in operation is covered. There is an exterior of a Heinz factory, and inside shots of baked beans being cooked. However, shots of the labelled cans are Cross & Blackwell. Moving to a grocery store, a woman buys tinned food and cooks baked beans for her husband’s supper.
