| Description: | THE TELL-TALE LIGHT A device used to assist in the judging of fencing matches. Various shots of a fencing match between two players in white suits and helmets. We see a contraption that is wired to the fencers and the handles of their swords; this tells who has hit who and when, and assists in the judging of fencing competitions. The device is demonstrated in a short match between Mr Pelling, British Fencing Champion (left), and Mr Childs, the former champion. A man stands beside the machine and calls the points. | |
