Made by "Knight Pictures", a film company I've never heard of, this film has no soundtrack, and mainly shows what is involved in laying cable underground. Before that, we see some kids playing on trains, reading Pinnochio books (??) a clock and a fan. THEN we get into the whole process. Not to sure of today's methods, but I'm sure we're looking at some wonderful "back then" machines designed to make man's life easier. I did like the lay out of that road stomper, with the guy directly on top of it. The PROCESS of this doesn't look like it's changed much though, maybe with more safety measures…
