Scope and content
The series consists of shift log books, which are handwritten narrative reports written by the responsible employee for that shift. Primarily, the logs contain commentaries on plant operation and performance during each shift, including, for example, the operation of the kilns, wet and dry mills, and rock system.
The shift log books occasionally contain reporting on other details and incidents (such as injuries) that were witnessed during the shift. For this reason, while they primarily give details of the mechanical operations of the plant, they also to some extent give a picture of working life at the Bamberton plant.
There were usually three shifts per day, 8am to 4pm, 4pm to midnight, and midnight to 8am. The log books are complete for the period 1962 to 1981.
