Sunderland. Intertitle reads: "As befitting the world's greatest Shipbuilders, Britain is the biggest maker of those beautiful Model Ships which grace so many buildings today."
Man stands in front of a large glass display case inside which is a very large model liner. He stands with his hands in his pockets admiring the model. C/U of a craftsman standing by the wooden hull of a model he is making. He holds a small tool in his hand which he shows to the camera. He then bends over the hull and begins to work on it. He takes another piece of wood and measures it against the hull piece. C/U of the hull being painted with varnish (?) or glue. Hull is turned on its side. M/S of the craftsman screwing another piece of model on to the hull. Other workers are busy with the more intricate parts of the model - funnels, masts etc. We see three men hard at work at a bench. C/U of quite elderly man doing close work with tiny models on a board beside him (possibly a lifeboat amongst other things.) Rowntree's Pastilles tin visible beside him. C/U of another man doing intricate work - possibly on a mast.
Top shot of some of the tiny items made for the model ship - lifeboat, funnels, propeller, tables and chairs etc. Two craftsmen put the finishing touches to the model - pieces of string are attached to the many masts. C/U of one of the men deep in concentration. A lifeboat is put into place, as is a rudder and other tiny bits and pieces. "Thou shalt not covet" - where is the boy who doesn't momentarily forget the commandment when he sees one of these fine models?" asks the intertitle. Young boy in an overcoat and school cap stands and looks at the finished model in a display case.
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.
