Filming a smith working at an Avery 15 cwt machine in the chain testing facility in Chatham Dockyard. A film technician is standing on the Avery machine bedplate in the foreground, holding a floodlight that he is pointing towards the smith. On the left is the video camera and the microphone with the arm of Pieter van der Merwe adjusting the camera's focussing. Beyond him is an unknown man. Also on the baseplate of the Avery machine is an open first aid cabinet and a toolbox.
