Description

Workplace scenes. The staff are having a get-together in their workplace. They are served with hot food from large vats and they pour themselves glasses of beer from a table loaded with bottles. They sit around and eating, drinking and chatting and some lark around for the camera. There is film projection equipment in the room and they watch a film after they have eaten, and we see clips of the commercial films that they are watching. We then see scenes from the office. We see the staff working at their desks, typing and writing. We also see a lady at a telephone switchboard and two women working what looks to be a machine that duplicates documents.
