                    would appear to indicate that some measure of
                    control was obtained.  Although the area is
                    large and the damage is severe it must be
                    remembered that the shops contain cellulose
                    spraying cabins and stores of paint, and that
                    the resulting fire would have been difficult
                    to overcome.
 
               7.             Severe damage at the eastern end of 
                    the same shops.
                         A close-up of the damage.               3/1
                                                         Item 1.
                         Several turretless frames, probably A.F.Vs,
                    most of which appear wrecked.              Item 2.
                         Charring marks and severe destruction of
                    the roof is seen far away from the seat of the 
                    fire, proving that probably the entire workshops
                    have been destroyed.
          
                    NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
                         From a close study of the night photographs
                    it is considered that this fire began at 2205
                    hrs. with a very large explosion (undoubtedly 
                    the result of H.E.) A wide double fire-track is seen 
                    at 2210 hrs. and persists throughout
                    many of the night photographs taken in the 
                    baid until about 2230 hrs.
 
E                   THE DEISEL ENGINE ASSEMBLY SHOP
              8.              With the exception of some minor roof damage
                    at the western end of this shop the building
                    appears intact.  However, the proximity of the 
                    heavily damaged assembly shops leaves little 
                    doubt that interior damage has been done.
                    THE SOUTH BANK
F.                  TIRE MANUFACTURING PLANT
                     9.            Some severe damage has been caused to a small
                    section of this plant at the western end.  The
                    entire shed appears to have been burnt out.

              10.             Damage to the west end of one of the main
                    sheds, probably by fire.

                    damage.
                11.           Further roof damage to the plant which suggests
                    internal destruction.  There is no certain confirmation
                    of a fire in this area on night photographs.
