101. In June, 1951, the decision was taken that the new combined offices and the electrical and mechanical workshops are to be located at Caroline Hill, the present site of the main office and the mechanical workshops. Sketch plans were prepared and it was hoped that work could be started in 1952-53 but due to financial considerations the project had to be postponed. This is unfortunate as the physical separation of the electrical and mechanical sections of this office creates great difficulties.
102. New workshop plant and equipment received and put into use included a Hartridge fuel pump test bench and nozzle tester, a guillotine shearing machine, a Cincinnati milling machine, a Besco hand operated universal folding machine, an electric sewing machine for upholstery work, a 24" combination wood planer and a Crypton electrical test bench.
103. The electrical workshops manufactured various articles including special hospital and office equipment and lighting fittings for the Grantham Training College. One parcels lift and two mail lifts were installed at the General Post Office, 10 perimeter lighting installations including those at the Green Island Gunpowder Depôt, the Government Stores and the Waterworks Workshops were carried out.
104. Prior to handing over this work to the Architectural Office the number of buildings rewired amounted to 80, including Kowloon Hospital, Central Fire Brigade Building, Central Magistracy and 40 Government quarters.
105. Electrical wiring was installed in 24 new buildings including Red Hill Filters, Aberdeen Wholesale Fish Market, Sheung Shui Revenue Station, Aberdeen Fish Cold Store and Fish Drying Plant and R.H.K.D.F. Headquarters.
106. A 2-ton air conditioning unit was installed at the Radio Sonde Station and another at the Identification Bureau, Police Headquarters. The installation of air-conditioning units ranging from to 2 H.P. was also carried out at Medical Stores.
