EE.                 SPRING SHOPS
          45 A.               Damage does not appear to be very extensive
                    although the near miss on the road W. of the shops
                    must have affected the building laterally.
FF.                 COLD STAMPING SHOP
          46.            The hole is seen in the roof at the N.
                    end where it is possible that H.E. caused
                    severe internal damage.
          47.            Another large hole at the N.W. corner
                    where the girders do not appear to be broken.
                    The remainder of the roofs of these shops 
                    appear to have suffered only slight damage
                    by blast and debris.
                    NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
                         At 2145 hrs. at approximately this point
                    a fairly large double track is seen on night photo 
                    films which later breaks into two smaller fires 
                    which continue throughout the period night photos
                    were taken.
