This film was taken at Armstrong Factory in Beverley capturing a typical day in the Heli-Coil Division of the factory.  The factory was one of the main employers in Beverley, mainly manufacturing shock absorbers for international distribution.  The film documents machinery and processes involved in the manufacture of heli-coils.  The film begins with a close-up of the machinery as the very small coils are being produced.  The coils are cut off to measure, and there is footage of this process taken from different angles.  There is a shot of the engine followed by a woman sitting at the machine. Her hair is tied back by a headscarf.  She pushes in and takes out small metal pieces, and this is also shown in close-up.  At the side of one of the machines is a large barrel filled with the small coils.  The coils rotate in the barrel, and individual coils fall down a chute.  Following this is a shot of the factory floor.  Men and women are situated at different machines, and he Heli-Coil Division appears to be a large and busy part of the company.  There are more shots of individual workers and the machines which they operate. A large machine is used to produce and polish larger metal cylinders.  Two women are working at a machine, and other workers and machinery can be seen in the background.  Next, metal slivers are shaved off one of the pieces manufactured to ensure each piece is produced to a standard size and shape.  The film closes with additional footage of the factory and its workers.
