| Description: | CAUGHT BY THE CAMERA (NO. 7) Wagons hauled by electrically driven capstans at Paddington Station. Various shots at Paddington railway station in London; good shots of steam engines. We see that goods wagons are hauled by by electrically driven capstans here, as smoke and sparks from the engines are considered harmful to goods. A man hitches a rope to a wagon, presses a large button with his foot and the capstan starts to turn, winding the rope around it, as a man unravels the other end of the rope as it turns. | |
