The Photography Department comprises two small rooms, separated by a fireproof partition. The entrance leads directly into the Studio which is laid out on a scheme resembling as near as possible that of the Photography Department, New Scotland Yard, London. From the Studio, access is gained to the Dark-room and Laboratory adjoining by double doors; as in the Studio, both the apparatus used and the general lay-out closely resemble New Scotland Yard.
Since the Department was opened on the 9th April, 1923, the following is a summary of the work executed up to the 31st of December, 1924.
