Kiosk Installation: 'The Early Years'

Conclusions:

Although many improvements have been included in the later model no finality in the design is suggested and doubtless further developments will be required as more experience is gained.

Experience with the early trailer has shown that to enable the work of the kiosk erection to be carried out expeditiously it is necessary to ensure that the site foundations are completed, and the service pipes are located correctly before the kiosk is delivered. Much time and labour can be saved by the progressive flow of centralised assembly, glazing, painting and apparatus installation work. The use of quick-setting cement by the party errecting the kiosk for filling in the bottom of the kiosk and the timely connections of all the lines all combine to give rapid results, which are gratifying to the men concerned with the work and to the public.

It is desired to express appreciation of the co-operation given in the production of the improved trailers by the Low Loading Trailer Co., of Bedford, England.
