Winding ’em Down! (1932)

Introductory intertitle: “Most people chop down trees... others blow them up! Here’s a horse that winds them down... the Champion tree-puller of Kent! Elderly man talks to his horse, encouraging it to walk forwards. Sounds like the horse is called Jess or Bess. Horse passes the camera. L/S shows that the horse is attached to a winching device that is being used to pull a tree down - as the horse walks the rope is pulled. Various shots of the horse walking in a circle and of the tree coming down. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
