| Description: | Master 1841 - Tape 1 LS large-scale industrial construction site. High angle LS/TLSs white male construction workers building steel mill foundry. TLS/MSs construction workers on scaffolding, pouring cement and planting rebar. Panning LS sprawling construction site. TLS/LSs completed steel mill. VO: "Using 60 million pounds in British funds and 27 million Marshall Plan dollars, the ambitious project is typical of ECA work in Europe. The purpose of ECA is to prime the economic pump, a pump run dry by run and allow the people to get back on their own feet. The Abbey Steel Mill follow the principle that Marshall Plan money is not relief money but help for those who help themselves. The plant nears completion, 3 1/2 miles of modern steel & concrete. The building has been paid for by the British and involved four English construction firms. Much of the machinery comes from the U.S." | |
