At this factory in the North East of England over 100 men

At this factory in the North East of England over 100 men and women are working on material for the Ministry of Supply, a great deal of it for the Merchant Navy and the Royal Navy. The workers seen here, all blind, are seen registering the time for their weekly pay packets.
At the front of the queue is 22 year old Patrick McDine who lost his sight in a road accident 10 years earlier.
