- Summary
- BFI synopsis: Looks at the use of various photographic equipment by the company, and also how one of their boilers is used by Kodak. There are scenes inside a photographer’s studio, and also the accounts department at Babcock & Wilcox, with an employee using a microfile viewer. A camera is used for photographing plans and drawings, and X-ray equipment is seen in use in the works’ medical centre. There are also shots of welding being X-rayed and the results being examined. The film then moves on to look at a Kodak factory in Essex. Rolls of X-ray film are seen being packaged, and Babcock & Wilcox boilers being installed in the Kodak factory. The control unit and film manufacturing process are also looked at, and the item ends with a man taking a photograph of his dog.
