How electricity is fed to the Cook Strait submarine cable. Surveying for the line; building the bridges, roads, and camps needed; erecting a tower above Benmore dam; taking tow-ropes across country by hand and by tractor; and stringing and jointing conductors. 2K scan from 16mm print.
I just checked out the meridian web site . construction started at benmore in 1958 the dam filled in 1964 and power generated in jan 1965, if your all wondering. any way this is amazing film, when men were men and NZ history is made.
