LECTURER TELLS OF PRECAUTIONS IN AERIAL RAIDS
(Continued from Page 11.)
waiting in the dark is bad for the Herves, Other forms of lighting are not so suitable as they tend to con
the sume the air and to heat up shelter. Nevertheless some form of emergency lighting should be pre- pared and kept handy even allowed to be used all the time.
not
In the above description I have not the sald anything about revetting sides of the trenches if the trenches are cut in food sound earth much as the local disentigrated granite soil they
would probably stand for long periods. If cut in "made" soll as in a reclamation they might not stand for long and the sides might cave in and allow the root to collapse on the occupants.
Strengthening -
In every case revetting strengthens the trench and should be done if at all possible. One way to revet a trench is as follows. Make frames of four by two inches timber con- sisting of two uprights with a lop spreader to hold the heads of the uprights apart and a bottom spreader wide to hold the feet apart. The way of the timber, should be across the line of the trench. The frame can be secured with nails at the corners,
in the cbar in- height in side the anated frome will be the height you want inside your finished trench (five or seven feet), the dis- tance apart at the bottom inside the of the inside width of the bottom trench,
say two feet in the pas- in the four feet sage ways and recesses and the datance apart at the top the inside width of the top of the trench, eay four feet in the the passage ways and six feet in recesses. In fact the frame is a sort of template of the finished trench the Inside dimensions of the frame being finished dimensions of the trench or the char.
Dig out the trench until the frames will go in with about one inch clear ance at the sides. Then at frames at from two feet to two and a half feet centres with rough one Inch boarding running along the length of the trench between the frames and the earth and holding the earth in place.
Boards can also be nalled along the tops of the bottom sprendera to make walking easier in the dark.
Permanent Shelters
This kind of revetment can only be temporary in this Colony as the white ants will in time destroy any timber revetment. If therefore you wish to make a shelter for perman- ent use you would have to make your revetment in brick or concrete and your roof also. Steel revetment would be possible but expense 25 likely to put it out of court.
For a permanent shelter the lowing suggestions are made
Brick arch shelters. If your shelter trenches are lined with brick Instead of timber as above, it will be proof against rot and the white ant, The walls should be two bricks thick and the roof arched and one and a half or better two bricks. If using brickwork the walls should be vertical, and the trench width should be a minimum of two and feet in the
the passages and
and four feet six Inches in the recesses.
