This is one of a collection of promotional films made by the large crane manufacturers, Priestman Brothers of Hull.  This film focuses on the versatile Tiger V. Title – Priestman Brothers Limited Present Title – Tiger V Research John Sommerfield Editing Sheila Tomlinson Direction and Photography Roland Stafford A Harold Goodwin Production (in association with the Film Producers Guild) The film begins showing a digger at work, and then a digger being driven out of the factory on the back of a lorry owned by L V Brooksbank of Hedon, Hull.  Several diggers are shown in action before the narrator explains how new designs are arrived at, with two (identical looking) designers out watching a machine in action, and consulting the driver.  They examine the working of the digger in detail.  After several months the new prototype arrives, the Tiger V, showing all the new features.  The new Tiger V is then put through its paces, with the two designers looking on.  Many of the different functions are seen at work in different settings, including dredging rivers and in open cast mining.  It then shows the designers out working with the machine to make improvements, and the Tiger V in action on a new housing estate.  Again a digger is shown being transported from the factory, this time to Holland.  The film finishes with the lorry leaving and other traffic passing the factory.
