The sound man, with his back to the camera, is pointing a microphone at the presenter, believed to be Fred Beckwith, chief foreman of the smiths, who is reading from his notes. Three men, including Pieter van der Merwe, are standing near the camera, which is mounted on a tripod. They are in the north-west side of the building.
