| Description: | Agriculture; technology; World War One. "Speeding up food supplies -- farming tractor." Many different shots of old tractor crossing field; pulling a tiller. Tractor is the type with caterpillar wheels. British soldiers man both tractor and tiller. We see the tractor coming and going; going round curves... then tractor pulling 3 tillers hooked together in a row; to till more rows; like pulling a long comb diagonally across the soil. Soldier sits on each; and looks like a little train. A nice shot of the tractor appearing on screen from behind and left of camera; with CU of large wheel rolling away. Then the tractor pulls the train of tillers as a group of men walk along inspecting this new wonder of modern technology and its capabilities for increased production; etc. | |
