I came across this while checking references for an article going into the next edition of YarnMaker, my work is generally more about spinning yarns than weaving, but my aim with YarnMaker is to cover the whole textile story from where fibres come from, how yarns can be designed and spun through to the ways we use them, taking in past, present and future. I am always learning new things and enjoying the contributions people make and the connections and conversations that preceed and follow on. (Those of you who read YarnMaker can have fun guessing where this might be found in the magazine!)
I love the way this film shows the relationship between machinery, the punch card programs, the oily hands of workers maintaining the machines, and the fine, beautiful white cloth. We see yarn on bobbins and being woven into cloth. We meet the people involved, face to face. There is so much in one short film.

Thank you for sharing this! It is beautiful!
That's a truly amazing film, I am utterly fascinated! Thanks a lot for sharing this!
I absolutely agree with your thoughts - an unusual film in that it shows so much of the mechanical side of things. Delightful. Nicely found and thanks for sharing.
So beautiful, I actually teared up. I love seeing real working hands. -Catherine
