Scope and content
The series consists of records related to specific machines and equipment, and includes manuals, operation guides and related correspondence.
The creator classified these files with an “Equipment List” classification system, distinct from the company’s main file classification system. This Equipment List had a code number, typically four digits in length, up to the range of 9000. Numbers were assigned according to the appropriate department; for example: crushing, raw grinding, mixing and slurry storage, fuel oil system, kilns, cement distribution, finish mill, packaging and bulk loading and plant vehicles.
This Equipment List had a cross referencing between a new equipment number and its corresponding old number. The Equipment List was normally maintained in loose-leaf binders, and can be found filed at the end of the series.
On the BC Archives file list, the creator’s original Equipment List number can be found in the “Creator Code” field.
There is a related series, MS-3124 - Plant equipment manuals and operation guides. That series, however, consists of manuals and operating guides which were loose (not filed) and to which no file classification number was applied.
There are very few files dating from earlier than the 1950s.
