Summary

BFI synopsis: Looks at the part the company’s boilers play in the process of making paper. The film opens in the Bowater Paper Mills, Kent. Wood is unloaded from a cargo liner in a Medway dock, and there are general views of the dockside as timber is stockpiled. The film shows the various processes of pulping, and looks at the paper mills boiler plant, which has Babcock boilers. Babcock cranes and conveyors carry coal from the cargo wharf to the paper mill boiler, and there are more shots of pulping machinery, and actual paper coming off the machine in huge rolls.
