192. Items manufactured by the workshops included a prototype aluminium-alloy Dead Box for the Urban Services Department, two traffic pagodas for the Police Force, a siren tower subsequently installed at the Chi Ma Wan Prison and two block-and-tackle assemblies for use in the Auxiliary Medical Service Store at Tung Choi Street, Kowloon. Two 6-inch diameter manoeuvrable delivery pipes (each 135 feet long) were installed at the Tsuen Wan nightsoil station for the transfer of nightsoil from pressurized tanker barges to the nightsoil maturation tanks ashore. Experimental work continued on transferring the matured nightsoil into the road delivery vehicles.
193. Two fully automatic oil-fired steam boilers of 980 lbs./hr. rating were received, inspected, hydraulically tested and repacked for storage until required for installation at the Castle Peak Hospital in November, 1959.
194. Pressure vessels overhauled and surveyed included 8 steam boilers, 2 heating boilers, 1 hot water boiler, 2 rice boilers, 2 pressure ovens, 5 calorifiers, 51 sterilizers, 7 autoclaves and 1 disinfector. In addition, two rice boilers were installed in the kitchen of the Sisters' Quarters at the Queen Mary Hospital.
195. The Plant Section had a very busy year maintaining all Government civil and mechanical plant, sewage pumping and screening plants, diesel generating sets, pumping sets, lawn mowers, etc., as well as installing 10 additional generating sets, 4 air compressors, 3 petrol dispensing pumps, one diesel-driven salt water pumping set at the Gin Drinker's Bay Refuse Dump, one drying machine in the laundry in H.M. Prison, Stanley, four 1,000-watt searchlights in the Tsuen Wan Divisional Police Station and numerous well-water pumps. Five petrol installations (each comprising an underground storage tank, pipework and dispensing pump) were completed at the Ma Tau Chung, Tsuen Wan, Yuen Long and the new Kai Tak Airport Fire Stations respectively and at the Caroline Hill premises of this sub-department.
196. New mechanical plant received, assembled, tested and put into service included 3 tandem road rollers, 1 fork-lift truck, 1 light tractor, 2 lawn mowers and three 1-cubic yard dump trucks.
197. 7 road rollers, 2 mobile air compressors, 14 generating sets, 6 lawn mowers, 29 pumping sets, 1 auto-diesel truck, 1 battery charger, and Anchor Street sewage screening plant underwent major overhauls.
198. The Mechanical Workshops completed 39,000 jobs.
