7.40 End plate maps were also produced for a Japanese version of a guide booklet for Hong Kong produced by the Director of Information Services. Revised end-plates were also produced for the Hong Kong Annual Report.

7.41 In the Photo-reprographic Section, production continued at a high rate throughout the year. New equipment installed at the end of the year was the 'Whirler'—a centrifugal plate coating machine primarily intended to facilitate the addition of a metric grid, when approved, to large scale plans by a printing-down process, but which also can be used in general topographical map production.
