Sir William Lawrence Bragg begins the film by describing the close packing structure of metals. A demonstration goes on to show how bubbles on a surface of liquid can show the same structure as metals; this is a bubble raft experiment. The rest of the film, narrated by Bragg, uses bubbles to demonstrate the idea of dislocations in the structure of metals and how these occur at the points of greatest stress. The bubbles help to show how dislocations occur through rapid crystallisation and through collapse within a structure to create a hole. The bubble raft is further used to demonstrate how…
