Title - More to the Point
The film begins showing various types of twist drills and their many different kinds of uses. With the aid of a diagram, all the parts of the drill are explained. The film goes through the process of producing twist drills, including grinding and heat treatment. Much of the production process is automated. The film also demonstrates how to use the drills, using the handbook. Drills go through machine grinding. The drills are shown in use in domestic settings, in sports (golf clubs), the automotive industries, shipbuilding, locomotives, short circuitry, telephone exchanges, do-it-yourself, and for engine blocks for cars, such as Rolls Royce. The film ends with a company director getting into a Rolls Royce.
