The disinfecting chambers have now been in continuous use for ten years,
and during that period have required no attention beyond that which the
engineer-in-charge has been able to give. They have been a great success;
they have performed their work most efficiently and economically ; and are
to-day in as good a state as when they were first erected. They reflect the
very highest credit on their makers, Messrs. Goddard, Massey, and Warner,
Nottingham.
