Summary: An explanation, by means of animated 'Isotype' diagrams, of the need for salvage.
Description: Extremely simple pictures demonstrate the need for scrap to make good materials lost in the Atlantic - also how a family could waste a few ounces of scrap in a day (eg some tins, some paper and a light-bulb) when the same amount of scrap, matched by all the families of Britain could, each day, replace a whole lost ship-load.
