Wimbledon Ball Boys Training and Tennis Balls Being Made (1961)
Various shots of lawn maintenance at Wimbledon Tennis Courts, London; men pushing lawn mowers; a man riding a roller; a man in a jazzy jumper uses a white line marking machine.
At the factory of Slazenger Ltd in Barnsley, Yorkshire, we see various shots of the processes involved in making tennis balls. Rubber pellets are heated to make half of the basic shape (they come out looking a bit like cervical caps), then a moistened chemical pill is put into each half which makes the ball extra bouncy.
