'Shipbuilding'
A progress report on Britain's industrial war drive
Produced by Alan Melville

This programme, the fifth in the series on industry's greatest speed-up, deals in particular with that river of ships-the Clyde.

The speed-up has not come suddenly to the Clyde: since the beginning of the war, and before, the Clyde yards have been working full time and overtime. But in these last few months the clang of riveting and the general pace of work in the yards has been increased on Clydeside. Tonight the men who have built-and are still building - the greatest ships in the world will tell of the speed-up in their own vitally important jobs.
