This footage shows a US city on a lake, maybe Detroit given the later shots of Ford's HQ at Dearborn The Brittons had a factory in the midlands that supplied components to the auto industry, so a trip to look for new customers and understand the leading car market was needed You can sense Jim's fascination with all things modern, with close up shots of the cars, motels, factories and even a super market It ends with footage from Niagara Falls, so it was not all work and no play
