Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00604Date Range1903-1918DescriptionThis series consists of a bound volume entitled 'Order Book Lighting Engineer'. It appears to be a high-level job book for the senior lighting engineer of the New Zealand Electrical Syndicate and then the Wellington City Corporation Electric Lighting Department, Stuart Richardson.

It contains dated entries for jobs to be done e.g., installing new street lights. The requests for these jobs come from the Bylaws, Fire Brigade and Street Lighting Committee and later on the Power Stations and Tramways Committee. Initially the book takes the form of orders e.g., 'the following lamps have been authorized for erection Wadestown Road, two and Shannon St, one'. Then from roughly 1912 onwards it also contains duplicates of committee minutes regarding matters reported on by the Lighting Engineer.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.11MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementChronologicalCollection TypeWellington City Council
