Summary
NFA synopsis: Two men in a pub discuss metal fatigue in motor racing cars. Stirling Moss is brought into the conversation and goes around the R.T.S.C.W. testing labs, which had been an experimental weapons station in World War II run by Lord Charwell. There is a tour of the laboratories, looking at an electron microscope, X-Ray camera etc. Back to cars on the race track - one possibly driven by Stirling Moss.
