heaters to large horse-power motors and switchgear. Programmed preventive maintenance of electrical items was a major commitment; the 'day and night' fault call service was in action on 29,280 occasions.
7.10. The Kai Tak (Maintenance and Operation) Section maintained all the electrical, mechanical and air-conditioning systems at the Airport as well as the runway and landing approach lights, substation equipment and air navigation beacons. The City Hall (Maintenance and Operation) Section performed a similar function in respect of the Hong Kong City Hall. In addition to the maintenance services, operation was provided for the stage lighting required for 843 stage performances, 487 cinema projections and 31 slide shows.
Lifts and Escalators
7.11. The Electrical Division also administers the Lifts and Escalators (Safety) Ordinance. There are now 6,086 lifts and 102 escalators in use in the Colony. 6,611 Certificates in respect of examinations and tests of safety equipment were issued and 29 investigations were made into lift accidents, unregistered lifts and complaints by the public.
MECHANICAL DIVISION
Chief Mechanical Engineer:
J. LIM, B.Sc., C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E.
G. J. OSBORNE, C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E., M.B.I.M. (Acting)
7.12. The activities of this Division embrace design, maintenance and operation in a large number of fields. Among these, worthy of special mention, are automotive engineering, boilers and steam plant, cooling plant, diesel-driven machinery, engineering services in government and military hospitals, large incinerator plants, laundry machinery and parking meters. The Division is divided into a Workshops Maintenance Section, a Plant Operating Section, a New Projects Section and a Transport Section. The staff under the Chief Engineer is headed by two Senior and five Mechanical Engineers although at no time during the year was the establishment complete.
Workshops Maintenance Section
7.13. The Division operates two main workshops, one at Caroline Hill Road, Hong Kong and the other at Sung Wong Toi Road, Kowloon. Both workshops continued to operate on much the same lines as in former years and with further increases in commitments for maintenance of motor vehicles, mobile diesel-driven plant and cooling plant. These increases have been absorbed, but only with the greatest
