The marvellous work which goes into candle making is demonstrated at the Belmont Works.
C/U shot of a large pot of greenish liquid swirling round. A scoop is dipped in and the liquid is poured into another container. M/S of the work area, where a man is seen walking along the rows with different coloured candles in moulds. He stops and pours the liquid into one block. Another man presses a lever which pushes up the candles from the mould. he fits a metal block over the candles. C/U shot of the machine as the candles are pushed up.
M/S of the factory and the man working with banks of yellow and red candles. C/U shot of the wicks being cut with a knife. A man takes a large frame of thin red candles, and lowers them into a mould. He then pulls them out, and lifts them away. Another man works with some thin pale blue candle, cutting them free from the frame and picking them up in a bundle. C/U shot of the base of a very large candle . C/U of feet going up a step ladder. M/S of the candle as the wax is poured over, panning to the bottom as the liquid wax drips off the base.
M/S of a man taking green and white Chinese mandarin candles from their moulds and hanging them on a rack, before polishing them. M/S of a young woman dipping two red candles into a pot of hot wax and twirling them. She pulls them out to show the spiral pattern and puts them to cool in a tray of water with others. We finish off with a floral display which has thin candles. One is lit with a taper. M/S of some finished and decorated candles

Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
