North Sea (1938)

A trawler from Aberdeen runs into trouble in the North Sea, but manages to obtain assistance from Wick radio station.

Cable Ship (1933)

A detailed account of the identification and repair of a fault in an underwater telephone cable linking Britain and Germany.

What’s On Today? (1938)

The preparations made by the GPO to enable the press and the BBC to cover a major sporting event, in this instance, the Manx T.T. motor-cycle races.
