Wire Making At Rugby (1920-1929)

Wire making at Rugby, Warwickshire. Various shots men working in field, first driving a tractor pulling a spool of wire, 2 men are holding this & walking along with it, like a plough. Various shots of this work in progress - looks as if they are cutting a very narrow furrow in the field and may be stretching wire along in it. Next several men working at a contraption which has many different strands of wire stretched across a fairly long distance, like a giant loom. This also takes place outdoors, in a rural environment. CU man turning a long pole as another man winds wire into a loop in his hand. A closer look reveals that the pole is actually made up of a lot of thin strands which have passed through a device that binds them all together? A wider shot of this whole operation shows poles on either side of the workers and machine. They are look like telegraph poles - are the men making telegraph wires? Extreme CU man’s hand next to cable made up of wires. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PA
