Dr. Enrico Fermi and assistants reenact experiments at site of the Chicago Pile-1 (CP-1) nuclear reactor, University of Chicago

Men walking towards the West Stands of Stagg Field, where the Institute for the Study of Metals, occupies the southern half of the abandoned stands. To the North, where the center of the building protrudes toward Ellis Avenue, is the squash court area in which the famous Chicago Pile number 1 was built, and achieved controlled, sustained nuclear fission, on December 2, 1942. Scene shifts to different area where a sign reads: "5655, Institute for the Study of Metals, Delivery Entrance." Scene shifts again, to Dr. Enrico Fermi and two assistants in front of a facsimile of the Chicago Pile 1. One assistant holds a simulated "control rod" that he "withdraws" from from the pile, while Dr. Fermi glances at a geiger counter and makes notes in a book. This is repeated for several takes, including one taken much closer. Dr.Fermi and his assistant smile as they take these actions. The second assistant, sits at a desk, where a slide rule is visible, and makes notes in a book. A large geiger counter is seen with lights flashing. Above the lights the counter is labeled "Interpolation," and the numbers: 1,2,4,16, and 32 appear above the lights, respectively. Dr. Fermi is then seen in another part of the lab, where he is making adjustments on some unseen device and annotating a book. Piping of various sizes is seen in background. He repeats these actions a number of times for the camera.

The captain begins, repeating his scripted talk again. Scene shifts to Captain Entwhistle, now standing with hands on the bomb sight. He describes its operation as he maneuvers the sight. He notes the bomb sight's ability to take over control of the bomber's course to the precise drop point. Entwhistle, then looks up and comments: "Is that enough?" He then continues with his talk, but is interrupted, again. Next, Entwhistle picks up again, repeating part of his talk, while the camera pans over the bomb sight. Captain Entwhistle, states that, the instrument "is an automatic pilot, as well as a sight." He rotates the sight various ways for the camera, and asks: "'Want some more?" Scene changes, now showing Harold Barth, President of the Norden company, standing with Captain Entwhistle, who rotates the sight around on its pedestal, while chatting with him. (Microphones do not pick up the conversation.) Mr. Barth leans forward and peers through the sight. Next, in a closeup, the Captain manipulates the sight, while talking to Barth (sound not recorded). Mr. Barth and Captain Entwhistle, take turns looking through the sight. Closeup of the Captain looking through the sight, and manipulating its controls.
