in such a way that we expect the service to the producing units in our organisation to be so satisfactory that they will be in constant demand, for only in this way can we justify our existance. The quality of personnel available and experience that we have available to us gives every indication that we will be successful.

TECHNICAL SERVICES
We offer our heartiest congratulations to Mr. Barry Hoffman of the Instruments Maintenance section who having succeeded in withstanding the cold for almost the entire Winter, eventually failed at the last ditch and took precautions about keeping warm next year.
On this occasion we have no further engagements, marriages or births to report but since this is not to my knowledge considered a technical problem we are not unduly concerned.
Seriously however, we were extremely concerned over the unfortunate accident to Roy Burdis who although not now in this department has continued to work in our vicinity.
Roy, an inveterate inventor, received a high voltage electric shock whilst working on a new gadget for Pipeline Factory, but is now making satisfactory progress in his recovery and we all sincerely wish him a speedy return to work.
I would like to express Roys gratitude and tribute here to B. Chater and D. Thompson of the Research Department for their highly commendable presence of mind in promptly switching off the current and applying artificial respiration. Such action averted an extremely serious accident.
Further thanks are due to our Nursing Staff who attended with their customary efficiency.
Now that the Production Staff (Bless them!) have more or less sorted out the scattered offices and telephone numbers which comprise Technical Services, we are very pleased to announce that we soon hope to be centralised in new offices.
No doubt, a number of landlords will be delighted to hear of the impending departure of their squatters and we in our turn say Thank you for the hospitality.
Bill Scorer and Barry Hoffman have our best wishes for success in their forthcoming Higher National and National Certificate examinations respectively.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Many changes have taken place since last writing, the most important being that we are now firmly settled in the old Government Stamping Department, although it is rumoured that some of us will shortly be on the move again, to the old General Office.
