by Ben Duncan
Although Englishmen have frequently studied American factory methods, this has rarely happened the other way round. But it did to Ben Duncan, who came here from New Mexico in 1950. On summer vacation from Oxford he worked in an ice cream factory where, as he explains, he had a remarkable opportunity of studying some * foot foot' machines.

Real stories from official records
Introduced by Captain Athelstan Popkess , Chief Constable of City Police in a large Midland city
1—' The Old Lady
Behind Lace Curtains'
The old lady in Newmanton Street never spoke to her neighbours and no one knew anything about her-till one day an urgent telephone call came to the local police station.....
The beginning of this story-and of all the stories in this series-was found by Captain Popkess in the pages of his City Police logbooks. Why the calls came to the Police and what the Police did, will be told by Captain Popkess; but what happened next comes from official records in the central or local government offices and will be told by the man or woman who took the case over from the Police. In this first programme he is a National Assistance Board Officer. There are no actors in these programmes and only the names and minor details of the stories have been changed to avoid identification.
