Milk seen passing through various machines. Hundreds of choc ices are seen being made. The blocks of ice cream pass through a "miniature waterfall of molten chocolate" (mmm!). Good shots of the choc ices going through all the different process. Narrator speaks of the "robot-like machines working with icy indifference". The "human" side of the operation is shown. Two women sit together at a bench working on special ice cream gateaux. C/Us of women icing cakes and making fancy ice cream "bombes" and weird and wonderful things like a "Madame Pompadour" doll which has a china body and ice cream skirt. Bizarre. Note: print only - no negs. Alternative spelling for search purposes - ice-cream. The factory is J. Lyons & Co. although this is not mentioned in the commentary.
