Description:
- A simple box, 20 or 40 feet long, has revolutionized the transportation industry. The container affords safer, surer handling of merchandise and by its nature has created a whole complex of transportation equipment: special ships built to carry only containers; newly-designed termnals; railway flatcars; immense gantry cranes and revolutionary trucks. In this film animation and regular filmng techniques combine to illustrate this method of transportation-containerization. <5mn>
