110. The installation of a 55 KW diesel-electric generating set and two petrol engines for emergency operation of boiler fuel pumps at Queen Mary Hospital and a petrol engine generating set at General Post Office was carried out.
111. It has often been experienced in the past that the lack of a vital item, which was unobtainable in the market, occasioned a "bottle-neck" thus delaying repairs to mechanical plant or vehicles. This, in many cases, was overcome by having parts manufactured in the mechanical workshops using the available machinery and some ingenuity. Various articles of this sort made in the shops during the year included spur gear wheels, bronze bushes, rear axle half shafts, pistons, connecting rods, universal spider couplings, brake drums, gun nozzles for sand blasting, valves for internal combustion engines and cross shafts and radial arms for screens at Tsat Tse Mui Quarry. A start was also made in manufacturing pneumatic vibrators and several were put into operation.
112. The operation of the Transport Pools continued to give satisfaction, and 228 vehicles were operated from the two main pools situated at the workshops in Hong Kong and Kowloon respectively and the two sub-pools at the Colonial Secretariat and Kowloon Post Office respectively. During the year a daily average of 210 details was carried out and in addition a daily cross-harbour lorry delivery service for the Public Works Department was maintained.
113. A total of 165 applicants for posts as drivers were tested and the 130 who passed the test were engaged.
114. A course of instruction in lorry driving for conscript members of various Units of the Essential Service Corps was organized at the beginning of the last quarter of the year. By the end of March 1952, 65 per cent of these trainees had attained a satisfactory standard of efficiency.
