tank room. This accommodates the insulated evaporator brine tanks and pumps serving the cool rooms and is linked to the rooms adjacent to the refrigeration plant room on the ground floor by an insulated pipe duct.
The refrigerated rooms are insulated with cork, the cork on the floors being laid on top of the structural slab. The ceiling of the second floor is insulated with cork on the floor of the void area to reduce conflict between the ceiling insulation and the meat rail supports in the second floor rooms. The walls of the cool rooms are non-structural self- supporting cork partitions faced on both sides with aluminium alloy sheet.
The refrigeration equipment com- prises two plants, plant 'A' handling the cool rooms and plant 'B' handling the low temperature store and the meat delivery van charging points. Both plants work on the vapour compres- sion principle providing chilled brine in flooded ammonia evaporators. The rooms are fitted with forced draught air coolers, the fans of each being con- trolled by separate thermostats allow ing even temperature conditions to be maintained throughout each room ir- respective of room loading conditions.
A lift and stairs serve each floor
and descenders are fitted for conveying the meat from floor to floor.
Two further blocks, namely the mortuary and incinerator house and boiler house, complete the abattoir installation. The mortuary and incinera- tor house is equipped with two oil fired cremators. The larger cremator (capa- city 28 cu.ft./hr) is fitted with mechan- ised charging equipment and is capable of accepting a whole animal of up to 1,800 lb. weight.
The smaller cremator (capacity 5 cu.ft./hr) is used for destroying town bones, pets etc., brought in by the public and small parts from the abattoir when the large cremator is not working. Some 600 gallons of oil for the crema- tors is stored in two tanks adjacent to the incinerator department.
The boiler house is equipped with two packaged boilers evaporating 8,750 lb. of steam per hour at 100 p.s.i., and provided with duplicate feed pumps etc., to guard against total steam failure. Space is provided for a third boiler but at present some steam is available from an outside source.
The cremator and boiler flues con- nect to independent stacks inside a reinforced concrete chimney 120 ft. high.

Now that we'll you've seen
tell you how good about
looking the things they you can't
are
these
see Like their colleagues in the Prestex range, new fittings are made in a special way. And there's only one firm in the world that makes taps like this. Peglers. That's us. Peglers of Doncaster. What's our secret? It could be that we take more care over brass foundry than anyone else. Or that we chromium plate to almost twice the British Standards. Or perhaps that we're one of the largest makers of plumbing fittings in the world - and our techniques are as modern as our designs. Whatever it is, it enables us to make fine taps at ordinary prices. Rather than tell you our secrets, we'll sell you our fittings, and you get priority on delivery too. Just let us know you're interested-soon.
