The initial preparation of data recording major installation projects was first undertaken by myself in 1973 whilst a member of the Installation Section of Head Office. I am pleased to note that this record has been suitably added to in the years since I left the Bureau and its intention to provide an invaluable documentary record for posterity has been maintained.
The installation data given at Appendix 4 serves a number of useful purposes not least that it chronologically displays the station or site concerned, the type of major equipment installed and also the name of the supervisor responsible for the project. Appendix 5 provides a summary of major equipment variously installed at sites and maintained by Radio Technical Officers.
Many regional technicians were involved in these major installation projects as were other staff from Head Office in assisting the Installation Section. Many 'techs' will recall with satisfaction the invaluable hands on experience in being involved with these important projects.
