It will be operated by a company with a capital of £20,000 that has bee A formed as a subsidiary to an Australian organisation, Carrier Australasia, Limited. The fact that his company was extending its activities to the Dominion was announced by the managing director, Mr, Noel P.

He said the necessary money for the formation of a company had been obtained, and his mission was to buy the necessary machinery for the manufacture of air-conditioning plane in Australia on a large scale. The present factory employed 300 people, and it was hoped to employ 800 when the new machinery was installed.
