HEATING PLANT - CLAN FOUNDRY.

With the advent of the colder weather, the heating plant will be kept in action throughout the night.

In order to produce this result, it has been arranged that C.Ford will stoke up the fire and damp it down as far as possible before he leaves at 7 p.m.

The Watchman on duty from 2 p.m. till 10 p.m. will stoke up again before he leaves at 10 p.m. The Watchman on duty from 10 p.m. till 6 a.m. will inspect the fire every two hours and stoke as necessary.

C.Ford will come in at 7.30 a.m. and stoke up for the rest of the day.
