Het leggen van een drie-aderige 55.000 volt kabel van Amsterdam naar Diemen

Summary

Reportage about the laying of an electricity cable between Amsterdam and Diemen.

The reportage shows the laying of an electricity cable between Amsterdam and Diemen. The reels of cable are first transported by horses; the cables come from Landré & Glinderman, the Dutch agent of the British company London & Erith. We then see the construction activities: workers using tow-hooks to drag the cable, inch by inch, through canals, ditches, and trenches. A group of well-dressed gentlemen looks on.
