The Disposal Board are of the opinion that for the most part the remaining equipment ate at the Camp is worthless as scrap and would not warrant the expense of packing and the high freight
This with the possible exception of the Guns etc enumerated in para 3 of Savingram No 126 sent to the S.of S« on the 5th of August,1948. charges to the U.K.
It is regretted that due to the fact that nearly all equipment is in an unpacked state no tohhage estimate is possible. It is suggested that the War Office might know what tonnage was involved as far as the Guns,etc, were concerned, as the number involved was stated in the Savingram referred to above.

Enclosed for your information is a list giving some indication of the types of scientific instruments which are likely to be declared surplus in the United Kingdom and to be available for disposal through the Ministry of Supply.
The Ministry of Supply state that there is no guarantee that there will be a surplus of each of the items on the list* and the quantities available will bo moderate* possible to obtain small quantities to replenish, stocks in the Colonial Pepen&enoies, and I should be grateful if you v/ill inform me whether you wish • to purchase any of the iternsp and in what quantities, in order that I may attempt to arrange procurement as and when they become available*.

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY, Stanley, FALKLAND islands.
Dear Sir,
In the hope that I may enlist your good offices in the disposal of Redundant Stores I am enclosing a Catalogue of Plant for which I am the Disposal. Agent.
Some of the Plant listed has only a limited sale at home either because it is more economical to meet demands with specific designs rather than adapt requirements to standardised emergency Equipment (e.g-. Gas Producers), because surplus Plants exists in quantities in excess of peace time requirements (e.g. Aero-engine testing equipment) or because peace time designs have more refinements than those produced to meet emergency conditions (e.g* Cleansing Units)* It is felt, however, that markets abroad would be opened if British Consuls, Trade Commissioners etc that they were able to supply particulars of Plant available for sale*
could make it known•)
The list should not he regarded as Comprehensive because large volumes of Government plant are continuously being declared surplus. To meet these changing conditions the intention is to revise and re-issue every two months and your views for future editions would be welcomed.
Yours faithfully,

GAS PRODUCERS
Reference
D (ivl. 1) 100. A number of GAS PRODUCERS of two sizes:-
(a) 5 Therms
(t) 20 Therms
The 5 Therm Producer consists of a circular generator fed from a fuel hopper which is provided with a Screw-down Charging door and fuel release valve. Under the generator is a grate and
Laterally with a generator a prc-hcatcra rotatable water trough, and washer-cooler are situated, these being provided with a common water seal tank. There is also a fan with its electric motor and the plant is complete with instruments.
Those producers are primarily stationary units but owing to their compact design could be mounted on undercarriages and rendered semi-portable; then, working as a suction plant (when a motor and fan would not be required) a 5 Therm Producer, operating on wood charcoal, would be a suitable source of supply for a 30 B.H.P. G-as Lngine in, for instance, a Timber Working and could follow up the clearing as required.
3=
The 5 Therm Producers could also be used to augment a town gas supply through non-return valves.
Net weight:- 1 ton 10 cwts.
7’ 3” x 3* 0'1 net; for easy access (i.e. for maintenance etc.) 10* 0n x 9* 0" is required.
Floor Space:-
Not less than 11*6" should be allowed; this is actually 2* 9" above the fuel charging door.
Hoad Room:-
Water Supply; - This is best supplied from an overhead tank.
£i The output on Wood Charcoal could probably be 1+ Therms.
The 20 Therm ‘Producer has a circular generator, and, by its side a combined Washer-Cooler with a Dry Sarubber super imposed thereon. It has also a rotary typo exhauster-booster for drawing gas through the plant and delivering at a positive pressure, but when a gas engine is being supplied the exhauster-booster is not required. Bach plant is complete with instruments.
B (it* 1) 101
On a fuol of wood charcoal the approx, output would bo 15 Therms - sufficient for a 130 B.H.f. Gas lingino or for lighting
Several producers mounted side by side coulda small township, conveniently deliver to a common main - and if required augment an existing town ga3 supply.

Two Gas Boosters arc provided (one as a stand-by) each with a capacity of 260,000 cu. ft. per hour. There are also Dtfy Seal Purifiers (with 22^" Valves) 120*0" x 40*0" x 6*0" deep to hold two layers of Iron Oxide - each 1110". deep - resting on wooden grids - 330 tons Iron Oxide in all. A travelling Gantry is fitted over the Purifiers for lifting lids etc. There are also two Pre-coolers capacity 12l, 000 galls, per hour at 40 lbs. per sq. inch and the Plant is complete with instruments.

The Disposal Board are of the opinion that for the most part the remaining equipment ate at the Camp is worthless as scrap and would not warrant the expense of packing and the high freight
This with the possible exception of the Guns etc enumerated in para 3 of Savingram No 126 sent to the S.of S« on the 5th of August,1948. charges to the U.K.
It is regretted that due to the fact that nearly all equipment is in an unpacked state no tohhage estimate is possible. It is suggested that the War Office might know what tonnage was involved as far as the Guns,etc, were concerned, as the number involved was stated in the Savingram referred to above.

THE COLONIAL SECRETARY, Stanley, FALKLAND islands.
Dear Sir,
In the hope that I may enlist your good offices in the disposal of Redundant Stores I am enclosing a Catalogue of Plant for which I am the Disposal. Agent.
Some of the Plant listed has only a limited sale at home either because it is more economical to meet demands with specific designs rather than adapt requirements to standardised emergency Equipment (e.g-. Gas Producers), because surplus Plants exists in quantities in excess of peace time requirements (e.g. Aero-engine testing equipment) or because peace time designs have more refinements than those produced to meet emergency conditions (e.g* Cleansing Units)* It is felt, however, that markets abroad would be opened if British Consuls, Trade Commissioners etc that they were able to supply particulars of Plant available for sale*
could make it known•)
The list should not he regarded as Comprehensive because large volumes of Government plant are continuously being declared surplus. To meet these changing conditions the intention is to revise and re-issue every two months and your views for future editions would be welcomed.
Yours faithfully,

GAS PRODUCERS
Reference
D (ivl. 1) 100. A number of GAS PRODUCERS of two sizes:-
(a) 5 Therms
(t) 20 Therms
The 5 Therm Producer consists of a circular generator fed from a fuel hopper which is provided with a Screw-down Charging door and fuel release valve. Under the generator is a grate and
Laterally with a generator a prc-hcatcra rotatable water trough, and washer-cooler are situated, these being provided with a common water seal tank. There is also a fan with its electric motor and the plant is complete with instruments.
Those producers are primarily stationary units but owing to their compact design could be mounted on undercarriages and rendered semi-portable; then, working as a suction plant (when a motor and fan would not be required) a 5 Therm Producer, operating on wood charcoal, would be a suitable source of supply for a 30 B.H.P. G-as Lngine in, for instance, a Timber Working and could follow up the clearing as required.
3=
The 5 Therm Producers could also be used to augment a town gas supply through non-return valves.
Net weight:- 1 ton 10 cwts.
7’ 3” x 3* 0'1 net; for easy access (i.e. for maintenance etc.) 10* 0n x 9* 0" is required.
Floor Space:-
Not less than 11*6" should be allowed; this is actually 2* 9" above the fuel charging door.
Hoad Room:-
Water Supply; - This is best supplied from an overhead tank.
£i The output on Wood Charcoal could probably be 1+ Therms.
The 20 Therm ‘Producer has a circular generator, and, by its side a combined Washer-Cooler with a Dry Sarubber super imposed thereon. It has also a rotary typo exhauster-booster for drawing gas through the plant and delivering at a positive pressure, but when a gas engine is being supplied the exhauster-booster is not required. Bach plant is complete with instruments.
B (it* 1) 101
On a fuol of wood charcoal the approx, output would bo 15 Therms - sufficient for a 130 B.H.f. Gas lingino or for lighting
Several producers mounted side by side coulda small township, conveniently deliver to a common main - and if required augment an existing town ga3 supply.
