NFA synopsis: February 1957. The diesel electric trawler the "Cape Trafalgar" is launched at Hull for Hudson Brothers. A man is shown inspecting the electronics on the trawler, and the role of R.T.B in supplying the steel to Marconi Marine used in the electronics is indicated. Various scenes are shown of the facilities and work processes involved with the electronics, including: use of radio telephones between ship and shore, and ASMC radar on the trawler being used to locate fish.
