In addition to the completion of three such installations, work advanced on three others with a capacity of 879 tons, the largest units being in the Causeway Bay Magistracy (506 tons capacity) and in the North Kowloon Magistracy (308 tons capacity). Projects in the design stage included six items with a total capacity of 562 tons of refrigeration.

All other plant and equipment is maintained and repaired by staff from the Workshops who paid 11,949 maintenance visits and answered 1,365 fault calls during the year.
219. In addition to 640 minor repairs and overhauls and 14 major ones, 15 minor air-conditioning units and 347 new refrigerators were installed. The transfer of the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Workshops into temporary accommodation in the old Naval Dockyard buildings from the old over-crowded Johnston Road site helped considerably, but the lack of a sub-workshop and a repair depot in Kowloon necessitated the transportation across the harbour for repair of all refrigerators and plant used in Kowloon.
