Black and white video by J. Sainsbury Ltd Branch Planning Services with commentary about the trials by Sainsbury's and NCR Ltd of a new electronic cash register system at Woolwich branch.

The commentary discusses: the background of Sainsbury's; background information about Woolwich branch; a detailed explanation of the system including the benefits, information on the features and how it operates; and evaluation of the system. Includes footage of the exterior and interior of Woolwich store, and the operation of the checkouts.

The remainder of the tape appears to contain fragments of earlier recordings on the tape, mostly of a demonstration/mock-up of a staff disciplinary interview, perhaps for training purposes.

A detailed shot list of this video is included in the tape box.

Duration: 9 minutes, 20 seconds (the main video) or 21 minutes, 18 seconds (the full tape including fragments of earlier recordings).
