Various locations of events.
In Italy we see various shots of adults and children picking grapes in a vineyard. In a warehouse women pack the grapes into boxes to be sent off to markets. The grapes are loaded onto refrigerator cases that are put on train wagons.
Shots of scientists at a research laboratory. M/S of two great 30s shoes (snakeskin?) - one a court shoe, the other a high-heeled oxford. We see a machine that was invented for measuring feet. A man adjusts the dials inside. Two lamps light up on the machine when the pressure is correct. The man checks the dial readings against a fitting chart. Nice C/U of the court shoe being taken out of a shoe box. (Location of events unknown - probably Britain.)
In the United States of America (?) we see various shots of a cameraman getting into a diving tank with his camera on board a ship called 'Salvo'. The tank is lowered below the water and we see brief underwater shots of the sunken steamship Marigo - barnacles on steel plates. The crew of the ship haul a safe up from Marigo. The safe is said to contain jewels worth a fortune and was underwater for 20 years. The men on board shake hands.

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.
