Here's a short film, mixed live and animation, urging the weaving sheds of Lancashire to spend some money to make money: spiff up with some paint, give the mill workers a place to eat and rest, space the weaving machines a little further from each other to improve ventilation! Watch productivity go up and watch your profits soar!
Having just gone through the second of two ruinously expensive wars, during which modernization of their mills was impossible, with a left-wing government in place, mill owners could not have been anxious to spend money they were not compelled to on what they viewed as worker amenities -- they needed new machines, spare parts and other items that would clearly contribute to a battered bottom line, This short makes a case that improving conditions would.
