• "Freight flow", a new film illustrating the latest developments in the transportation of unit-load freight by rail and sea, was given its first showing to a large audience of forwarding agents and transport operators in London recently.
Produced by British Transport Films for Freightliners Ltd. and British Railways' shipping and international services division, the film traces the development of Freightliner and international container services and introduces British customers with differing freight problems who describe aspects of the unit-load system.
"Freight Flow" also features the Ford Company train which, together with the HarwichZeebrugge Sea Freightliner container ships, provides a daily link between the company's factories in Liverpool and Belgium.
Photographed in Eastmancolor, the film runs for 21 minutes and, with other films in the British Transport Film Library, Melbury Terrace, NW1, is available for loan to industrial, commercial, and educational organizations, societies and institutes.
