M.P., opened a new maintenance shop recently erected by the Crow Carrying Co., Ltd., Harts Lane, Barking.
He remarked that it had taken nine months to build the shop, and as the present Government had another four years to run, there was every possibility that the heating system, which had not yet been started, would be completed during its term of office.
The new shop provides modern facilities for maintaining the present fleet of 103 vehicles operated by the company. Measuring 200 ft. by 50 ft., the building incorporates the engineer's and storekeeper's offices, stores, machine shop, paint shop, bodybuilding shop, boiler house, charging room and messroorri.
There are two white-tiled inspection pits, a Laycock 8-ton electrically powered vehicle hoist, and a separate machine shop fully equipped for all maintenance work with the exception of cylinder boring and crankshaft grinding.
