Summary

Babcock and Wilcox synopsis: Those of us who play golf spend a lot of time addressing the ball but few have bothered to ask how it is made. The film answers this very question by taking us into the factory at Speke, near Liverpool, where Dunlop golf balls are made. In this fascinating process, a considerable amount of steam is used for heating and other purposes and, as in so many industries, it is supplied by Babcock boiler plant.
