6.01. The functions of this Sub-Department can be divided into three categories: firstly the designing of equipment for new projects and its subsequent installation; secondly the operation of mechanical, electrical and refrigeration workshops; and thirdly the operation of plant such as is used for air conditioning, steam raising and, most recently, refuse incineration.
6.02. Last year the head office, together with the electrical and air-conditioning workshops, moved to new premises alongside the mechanical workshops at Caroline Hill, thus establishing a centralized workshop covering all activities on both sides of the harbour. The date of this move was put forward slightly as a result of the rainstorms in June which caused extensive damage to equipment at the old Harcourt Road premises.
6.03. The Kowloon riots in April resulted in considerable damage to traffic installations, as well as to parking meters and although their repair put an unusually heavy demand on the workshops, the damage was repaired within a relatively short while.
6.04. The undermentioned officers served on committees as follows:
