The space in the circular ceiling above these rollers to be cased square up to the line of top-plate, the side casing to be hinged so as to be able to get at the spindles if required. Fix grooved uprights close to the upright of cheese-shelves, each division of shutter to be movable by itself, the whole to be worked smooth page 7 and easy; the bottom rail of each shutter to have a 1½-inch by ¼-inch iron bar, with an eye fixed thereto; also provide hooks for fixing straps when shutters are open.

This applies also to other fixed shelves in the other parts of the building. All shelves of whatever description to be clean hand-or machine-dressed.

Revolving Shelves.—Uprights for revolving shelves to be fixed where shown in floor-plan, and made of well-seasoned kauri. The different sizes are figured on the details. Every three shelves to be dovetailed together, and to swing on a pivot as shown; to have all the necessary plates, screws, &c., complete. The uprights to be set on the sleepers immediately over a pile, as shown, and fixed at the top by being mortised into the tie-beams. (See sections CD and EF.) At a height of, say, 7 feet from the floor fix lintels to carry a 2-inch by 14-inch kauri plank, from which a man can work the upper revolving shelves. These planks to be placed in passages where air-gratings are shown in plan.
