- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Every year at Ashford, Middlesex, nimble fingers manipulate eleven million two hundred thousand feet of aluminium wire into a variety of shapes. But few people would guess what is being made. The wire is in fact used as a skeleton for rubber toys so that they can be bent into different shapes...another indication of the trouble that toy manufacturers are prepared to take to bring happiness to the children of today.
