While some semiautomatic machinery is shown, there is no evidence of a full production line in operation and most of the footage depicts work being performed by hand. When machinery is used, the narrator is excited by its novelty, focusing on its 'fascinating precision' or its noise and power.

9.2.2.2 Classification.TaxonPath.Taxon.Entry'A Day in a Biscuit Factory' is a 12-minute promotional film for Swallow and Ariell products and the target audience is clearly women who want to serve high-quality biscuits and cakes without making them themselves. The language used by the narrator hammers home the message. The company's biscuits are, for example, 'soon to be served by discerning hostesses who take pride in the presentation of attractive refreshments'.

In the same year he went into partnership with Thomas Harris Ariell (1832-75), setting up the first machine-equipped biscuit factory in Melbourne and developing a range of biscuits. After Ariell's death, Swallow entered into partnership with Frederick Thomas Derham (1844-1922). The Derham family was still managing Swallow and Ariell in 1932 when the film was shot.

9.2.2.2 Classification.TaxonPath.Taxon.EntrySeveral occupational health and safety issues are revealed in the clip, including the lack of ear protection in a very noisy workplace and the use of machines without hand guards. Such practices went largely unchanged in factories until the introduction of Australia's first occupational health and safety regulations in South Australia in 1972.

9.2.2.2 Classification.TaxonPath.Taxon.EntryWhile most biscuits in the 1930s were packed in large grocer's tins and weighed out in the shop for each customer, some were sold in separate packs, similar to today's self-service packaging. Uneeda cracker biscuits were an example, and the clip shows how a pack of Uneeda biscuits was created in the 1930s. Everything was done by hand. The biscuits were lined up, weighed and wrapped, first in wax paper and then in the outer paper packaging.

9.2.2.2 Classification.TaxonPath.Taxon.EntrySwallow and Ariell recognised the promotional value of film and had earlier commissioned a silent film about their factory, released around 1925. For 'A Day in a Biscuit Factory' the company turned to Herschells Films to make a 'talkie'. At about the same time as this film was made, Herschells Films joined the Melbourne 'Herald' newspaper in a short-lived venture to produce Australian sound newsreels.

9.2.2.2 Classification.TaxonPath.Taxon.EntryThe soundtrack of the clip, consisting solely of a voice-over, provides an example of the early use of sound film in Australia. No factory sounds appear to have been recorded and there is no background music. The declamatory style of the voice-over, the rather unusual emphasis on particular words and some over-long pauses indicate that the filmmaker was still coming to grips with sound.
