7.08. Street sweeping carts manufactured under local contract included 70 for the Urban Services Department and 50 for the Resettlement Department. In addition six aluminium alloy refuse bulk storage bins and two tubular conveying trolleys were manufactured for the Tin Kwong Road police rank and file quarters.
MECHANICAL WORKSHOPS SECTION
7.09. The number of orders completed in the Workshops again rose and the total of 54,461 represented an increase of nearly 12.1 per cent over the previous year.
7.10. As in previous years numerous vehicles belonging to various Government departments were given a major overhaul. No less than 181 vehicles were completely stripped down and all damaged or worn parts repaired or replaced by new parts.
7.11. Special mechanical equipment designed by the mechanical design staff and manufactured in the workshops included:
(i) Seven electrically operated dumb waiters which have been installed at Castle Peak Hospital to convey meals between the kitchens in each block and the dining rooms.
(ii) A trailer for the conveyance by road of shallow draught jet driven boats for use in the New Territories waterways and which cannot make the journey back to the Government slipway by the open sea.
(iii) A photo cutting machine for the Registration of Persons Office which is capable of accurately locating and blanking out from rolls of film, up to 5,000 photographs per day. These photos were previously cut out by hand so that this machine has proved to be of inestimable value in speeding up the processing of new identity cards.
(iv) A 10-cwt. electrically operated mail hoist erected at the Kowloon Canton Railway Pier.
(v) A prototype mobile blast screen in aluminium alloy for the deflection of jet engine exhaust of aircraft on the parking apron at Kai Tak Airport.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SECTION
7.12. This section maintains most of Government's engineering plant, sewage pumping and screening plants, swimming pool filtrating plants, dental equipment, diesel generating sets, pumping sets, mechanical handling equipment, printing machines, air compressor units, parking meters and technical machinery and equipment.
7.13. Eleven new diesel generating sets, two new petrol dispensing pumps, a multi-mix petrol pump and six additional sets of dental equipment in clinics were installed.
