This film is of a series produced weekly titled Industry on Parade which had won a Peabody Award (:11) for it’s public service. It opens with a dough factory in Portchester, New York (:36). The pans are covered and set into the Brown Electric Pyrometer (1:17). The bread will then be frozen to preserve freshness and flavor at -20 degrees (1:33). These are wrapped in plastic twice to prevent dehydration (1:39). This process enabled companies to expand employment as their reach for sale was also expanded (2:15). Boxes from Arnold’s Bakery (2:41) are then loaded onto a conveyor belt (2:41). Admiral Richard E. Byrd was credited with this innovation as he had found bread preserved on the North Pole that was still edible four years later when he returned (3:00). He then became the vice president of Arnold’s Bakery and is seen with the company president, Paul Dean Arnold (3:10). In the National Woodworks of Birmingham, Alabama (4:23), prefabricated windows and doors are crafted (4:23). Previously, these were made by expert craftsmen using trial and error (4:49) and now they were preassembled to come ready made for installation (5:06). A carpenter works to install one of these windows beginning with sketching the lines (5:31) where the window will go, drilling holes, and then with a keyhole and crosscut saw cuts the hole where it will go (5:40). In Michigan, at and automobile sales agency in Detroit, a Plymouth Motor Corporation truck is arriving (6:01). These men will bring the agency up to speed on maintenance and repairs for the company’s vehicles (6:31). The Plymouth truck will travel from dealer to dealer and at one of these they discuss power steering units (6:56). The units are shown disassembled and reassembled (7:00) by instructor and mechanic. At a small garage in Bellevue, technicians discuss power flight transmission (7:57). In Massachusetts, viewers are shown the art department of one of the leading producers of greeting cards (9:21). The ‘flocking’ method is shown which uses textile fibers that stick to glue to create a raised effect (9:36). A machine which cranks out craft greeting cards follows (9:45), as well as a printing press (9:52). A brail chart is depicted (9:57) and the plates shown had been created at the Perkins Institute for the Blind (10:08). The Rust Craft printing press (10:23) is shown. Using silk screens (10:40), workers create a cut out. Flocking is shown conducted in an assembly line (1:56) and these are sent to retail outlets (12:02). A customer punches out his signature in the store (12:31). The Gondola Regatta (13:02) in Venice is a sporting event on the canals and costumed participants race down the grand canal (13:25). A hanging banner tells us it’s 1965 (14:27) and this is tradition passed down through generations. The Rialto bridge is seen (15:34) and the first-place gondola wins by only 6/10ths of a second (16:11). The film draws to conclusion as festivals erupt after the race (16:36).
