are 8 or more colours employed in the colour scheme : the addition of
each colour entails a separate impression. In an 8-colour scheme the
poster has to press from eight to ten times through the printing machine.
A very interesting room is the photographic one. Here a small design
is photographed, then transferred to a small slide and thrown on to a
screen by means of a small cinematograph projector, thus enlarging
the small photograph many times. This is then actually sketched on
the paper screen ensuring accuracy of detail.
Sanitary Accommodation. This has been transformed. The 2
w.c.'s for the 11 males employed are satisfactory and a new urinal has
been constructed of glazed fireclay slabs, with automatic flushing
cistern, etc., thus modernising the sanitary accommodation. Nine
females are employed for whom there is 1 w.c. of wash-down pedestal
type, well lit and ventilated and efficiently screened. The office block
is being altered to provide more satisfactory accommodation for the
artists who number four.
14. A Factory Laundry.
These are rather old-fashioned premises, fairly well adapted to their
purpose. This place is kept well under observation as it is clear that
the Manager has not a good hygenic outlook. Of course, one cannot
help the fact that the place is congested, but the yard was none too

packing room. The lighting and ventilation of the premises was good,
these being effected by means of windows on the ground floor and
windows and skylights on the first floor. The washing room floor
drainage was fairly good. At the rear of the yard there is some general
cleaning up to be done. The sanitary accommodation consists of 1 w.c.
for the 4 men employed, and for the 40 females there are 2 w.c.'s of
the wash-down pedestal type. These are satisfactory.
15. Skin and Hide Premises.
Waste pieces of skin and hides are brought here from different
slaughterhouses. Such are known as "slips" and "hair pieces"; they
consist of the trimmings of skins or hides of different animals, and some
two tons of this material are received here daily. The object of the
process is to prepare the waste skin and hides for the glue and size
