NRS-19544 | Randwick tramway workshops - output of work

This series consists of six folders containing comparative graphs and statistics of the work carried out at the Randwick Tramway Workshops. The statistics record the 12 month output of repair shops, including the total cars turned, percentage of miscellaneous cars and cars rewheeled. Other statistics documented include: armatures rewound and repaired, number of men and women employed, wages per unit output, painting output, employee days on rolling stock, employee days on work other than rolling stock, cars overhauled and tram car passengers carried and approximate car mileage. The statistics compare the output of work for the current year with preceding years and highlight the year 1919 as a particular year to compare current work output to. The documents are copies that were held by the Chief Engineer and Superintendent of Workshops.Custody HistoryFrom 1955 until 2000 the State Rail Authority of New South Wales maintained an 'in house archives' consisting of the archival records of the Authority, its predecessor agencies and the private railway companies taken over by the government. The date ranges of the records were from 1849 until 2000. When the decision was made to close the 'State Rail Archives' the parts of the collection that were required as State archives were transferred to the State Records Authority of NSW. Those record series were incorporated into the State Records series system of archives control and were re-numbered.This series was formerly part of the State Rail Archives collection where it was identified as part of series R422. It may have been viewed in the State Rail Archives as series R422 and could have been previously cited as such in notes by researchers at State Rail Archives or in publications or unpublished works.
