| Description: | Britain the consumer - Egypt the producer. King Fuad welcomed during tour of centre of cotton industry. Lancashire King Fuad, wearing fez and overcoat, walks along with other visitors and management towards camera, inside a cotton mill, where there are waiting crowds of mill workers. They move through an archway constructed of cotton bales under a banner reading, 'Welcome to King Fuad from Horrockes'. They walk through cheering crowds and the King waves. The King stops beside a machine, could be a huge loom, and an operator pulls strands of wool from the machine and throws it to a visitor. Mill girls smile broadly in the background. The King continues his tour with staff explaining the machinery. King Fuad posing with others outside the factory. He has an upturned wax moustache. | |
