Immediate Report of Victoria University Of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1987-88: VUWAE 32

NZ-1 wannigan

NZ-1 wannigan

The wannigan proved to be very useful for our laboratory, kitchen and eating area and is well fitted out. The following improvements are suggested to increase the NZ-1 versatility.

(i)Permanently fixed aluminium ladder to give safe access to roof aerials.
(ii)Small step ladder for safe access to door when on sledge.
(iii)Increase solar panels to enable faster charging of VHF nicad batteries.
(ib)Electrical noise suppression from generator when radios in use.
(v)Mini vacuum cleaner (eg 12 v) to clean dust and clothing fluff in lab environment.
(vi)The "fridge" could be improved by removing from wall and installing through the floor. Its sharp corners at head height are dangerous.
(vii)Hermetically sealed double glazed skylight.
(viii)12 volt internal wiring to attach to generator.
