Summary

Babcock and Wilcox synopsis: Many of the men in the Babcock tube mill at Dumbarton have interesting or unusual hobbies as a relaxation from the noise and bustle of the mill. After showing some of these men at work on their jobs, the film takes us to their homes where they are engaging in their hobbies of making brooches from feathers, mending clocks and watches, and portrait drawing.
