of the units on the part of the contractors. 2,338 new units were tested and 219 installed. 3,563 units were completely overhauled while preventive maintenance was carried out on 34,666 items and 4,069 fault calls attended. 720 miscellaneous tests were carried out, 1,652 refrigerator cabinets resprayed and 751 units replaced by new units.
Electrical Sections
8.29 In previous years these sections consisted of the Maintenance Sections, comprising both workshop overhaul and site maintenance of electrical equipment covering a wide range of items including domestic appliances, goods and passenger lifts, aerial masts, obstruction lights and beacons, large horse-power motors and switchgear, and the Installation Sections, covering the engineering of traffic lights and their control systems together with other traffic aids and the wiring of new and the re-wiring of existing electrical installations.
8.30 During the period under review studies were carried out which showed that existing efficiencies could be improved in the workshops by transferring the major repairs and overhauls of electrical equipment from Kowloon to Hong Kong Workshops where space and facilities are better. A small section only is retained in the Kowloon Workshops for minor repairs and some fifty posts of Artisan I grade were saved. The incumbents were transferred to other Sections to cover staff shortage.
8.31 Staff employed by the Maintenance Sections on the repair of traffic aids have been transferred to newly-created Traffic Sections in Hong Kong and Kowloon covering new works and maintenance of traffic aids. At the same time planned maintenance schedules were introduced into the Maintenance Sections, including outside maintenance. These Sections were streamlined and supervision strengthened where necessary.
8.32 The general organization of these Sections has been changed to more functional duties, forming separate groups dealing with (a) Planned Maintenance of Equipment, (b) Fault-finding and Breakdowns, (c) Temporary Work, and (d) Replacement of Wiring. Complete rationalization had not been completely achieved at the end of the year, but satisfactory progress had been made.
8.33 During the year the Electrical Sections completed 138,761 Works Orders, included in which were 20,860 tests of electrical appliances for the Government Supplies Department and other Departments.
