Baghdad 1st July, 1936

Dear Mr. Weldon,
Reference our recent conversation.
I confirm my request to you that you
will very kindly try to look for a headmaster for the
proposedSassoon Eskell Technical School. The salary
will be not more than £400/- per annum plus second
class passage both ways at the beginning and at the
termination of his contract. He will also be accomodated
in a suitably furnished house. The appointment will be
subject to my approval and to the consent of Messrs.D & E.
Eskell who will sign the agreement.

I shall also be very grateful if, while in
England, you can see your way to buy for the School the
technical equipment and manual instruments which you will
think necessary. The purchase may be effected outright with
the approval of Messrs. D.& E. Eskell or a list of the
articles required may be furnished to the later with an
indication of the firm which will supply them.

I enclose herewith a standard form of agree-
ment usually used for the engagement of English teachers
for our Schools. This is, I think, quite suitable for the
present purpose also, but could of course be altered on
matters of detail if necessary.

I take this opportunity to express again my
sincerest thanks to you for the assistance which you are
always so generously willing to extend to us, and must
apologise for availaing myself so fully of it.

[Signature] Yours sincerely,

E.J.Wheldon Esq.,H.M.I.

Dear Major Yates ,

Subject . <u>Proposed building of a Technical School</u>

[Marginalia] ?

- I enclose herewith for your consideration a revised plan for
the above designed by a British Architect uppn request of the founders
in London .

I should be mostly obliged if you would kindly let me know
your views regarding the accommodation provided for in the revised
plan & the shape of the building .

I would invite your attention specially to the apparent expan-
sion in the residental quarters & offices - As you will readily see
from the shedule of comparison between the areas alloted to each parti-
cular elements in both plans , & in the meantime the grooping of work-
shops by means of Verandahs & covered ways .

[Marginalia] ?

- In order to compare between the two plans ⟦x/x⟧ i.e. yours & the
revised I have requested one of the local Engineers to prepare the
Shedule in question and at the same time make a plinth area estimates
for both . Thes estimates are enclosed also .

The residental & administrative elements have been placed by the
architect in London on the first floor of the central block .- which
act is apparently to ensure better supervision & some sort of privacy .
I would be grateful to find out your opinion on this arrangement &

P.T.O.

Page 84

-  2  -

whether this idea is advocated .

I further note there is an appreciable difference in the
estimated cost of the building given by the local engineer & the
provisions allowed for in your estimate . The allotments shewn in your
estimate for buildings works are given as follows :-

1 )  Main Building  100' x  50' @  150 fils Sq ft.   ID.  750-000
2 )  Smithy & foundry 25'0 x 50' with lean               235-500
3 )  to lecture room , office & records                  187-500
-----------
Thus making a total  of ----------   ID  1173-000
----------

while the local Engineer 's estimate amounts to about ID. 6000-
The local Engineer according to prevailing rates , has based his
prices on the assumption that the school is constructed of good brich -
masonry on rein-forced concrete foundations & with permanently fixed
roofs .

Presumably your estimate is based on mudbrick walling with trussed
roofs supported on stanchions & covered with corrugated iron sheeting . W
However I should be pleased to have your comments on this subject .

Awaiting your favourable reply , for which please accept my best
thanks in advance .

PROPOSED TECHNICAL SCHOOL.
Your D.O. 1412 of 1.5.35.
------

Dear Yates,

I enclose herewith a Summary of the Estimates which have
been worked out in conncection with your enquiry.

The average cost a square foot is 285 fils.

You will note that in the total there are included certain
percentages for departmental charges.

The figures cover the supply and erection of the steel
stanchions which will support the machine shop roofs.

I do not think the vibration will affect the brick work
seriously. I propose building the brick work and steel stancions
on independent foundations.

If the total price is prohibitive, I will look into possible
economies, but do not want to do so unless quite necessary.

The detail estimates are in the office, but have not been
typed.

I think we should be able to find a contractor to do the
work at these estimated figures.

Encol: 1 Summary of estimates.

To:
Ezra M. Daniel Esq.,
Baghdad.

Dear Sir,
PROPOSED BUILDINGS OF A TECHNICAL SCHOOL.

I regret that I could not reply to you sooner regarding the
various points of your letter of the 5th April. The Office of the
Chief Engineer (Major Holt) was extremely busy and it was difficult
to allot estimators' time, and as I know from our conversation that
you quite realize, the disturbances of the Southern area have taken
much time of the parties concerned and the civil engineering estimates
were not completed until the 24th instant.

LONDON'S PLAN. The combines system of buildings looks from
the drawing to be of good appearance but,

the high price is a serious drawback. Neither the princi-
pal's quarters nor the lecture room should overlook or
adjoin the workshop court-yard as the noise, dust and fumes
from Electric Welding are objectionable.

Verandahs are expensive and even if they <del>were</del> were not expen-
sive would be objectionable and unnecessary. They prevent
sufficient light from entering the windows. The best way to
cool such buildings is to throw them open at night. Verandahs
hold the heat of the day and delay the cooling down of the
building.

The Smithy and Foundry should not adjoin the Machine Shop
because in the former there are sand, dust and smoke inju-
rious to good machinery and because the vibration of steem
or power hammers interferes with the good working of
grinding machines, lathes and planers.

We do not yet know how a concrete building of this design
and window arrangement would be for keeping cool in the hot
weather whereas we do know from experience of the past ten
years that our sample building, the electrical repair shop
at Shalchiyah is comfortable to work in and sufficiently
lighted.

-- 2 --

The London idea of a Founder's Statue in the forecourt is
good but this could be accommodated equally well in the garden
bed which is next to the lecture room on our Baghdad plan.

ESTIMATED COSTS.  Taking first the residence I did not ask
Major Holt to estimate for this because actual figures were kindly
given to me by Dr. Desouza vide Para 2 of my letter of 1.5.35 copy
attached to Major Holt also attached blue print.  If you wish I am
sure Dr. Desouza would give you the names of his contractors.

As to the other buildings I send herewith a copy of his letter,
to me of 24th instant also copy of summary of estimates and the es-
timates in original, 17 sheets.  You will see that he asks for thes⟦e⟧
original detail estimates to be returned to him.

I attach also the blue prints of the 3 drawings which I sent
to Major Holt also the London plan and the Baghdad site plan 10665A,
also in original the Baghdad estimates which you sent me in your
letter under reply.

From these estimates you will see that whereas my estimate
to you of I.D. 1173 for main building, smithy and office which was
based on the Civil Engineer's rough figure of 150 fils per square
foot is considerably exceeded, the gross total including I.D. 787
for show room now being I.D. 3336.  I regret the increase but i⟦t⟧
appears due to not ⟦g⟧oing into detail in the 1st instance.

FENCING.  Light iron fencing locally made can be supplied
by contractors at fils 300 per metre.  English "Bayliss" fencing as
per attached leaflet costs I.D. 1/100 per metre run.  If you are
satisfied with this for strength but desire to make it unclimbable
two or three rows of barbed wire could be fixed above it.  A copy
of this made locally might be cheaper.  If however you require a

a strong palisade made of iron such could be made of angle iron
and barbed wire as per drawing No.10729 attached.

The cost of the material would<del>⟦illegible⟧</del> be I.D. 1/116 per meter run
and the labour need not be chargeable as the cutting and Electric
Welding could be carried out by the school's own personnel.

I hope that your scheme will meet with success and shall be
glad to consult further at <del>my</del> any time. I am going on leave on
June 2nd and will return in the 3rd week of October.

CHIEF MECHANICAL ENGINEER'S OFFICE,
SHALCHIYAH, dated 1st May, 1935.

Dear Holt,

PROPOSED TECHNICAL SCHOOL.

1. With further reference to our conversation of yesterday.
I send herewith three blue prints:-

No.
____
Site for proposed Tehhnical School.   ...   10665A.
Layout.                               ...   10665.
Smithy and Foundry.           ... }             {...   10666B.
} On one sheet {
Machine Shop.                 ... }             {...   10666A.

2. REFERRING TO SITE DRAWING 10665A.

BUNGALOW. This is almost identical in plinth area
with the one lately built by Dr. Desouza on Maude Avenue so I
have given the Founders the actual cost of I.D. 400 of which
I.D. 300 was for building, cesspits and boundry walls and I.D.100
covered piping, bath, commode, tank, wiring lights and fans. I
do not think therefore that any further estimate is required for
this.

I shall be very g⟦l⟧ad if, as you kindly offered, you
will give estimates for :-

Show room which I presume should have plate glass
windows and steel shutters.
Lecture room with office.
Smithy and Foundry. ( I have already estimated
for crane, crane rails and crane rail beams).
and Machines shops. (Here also I have already esti-
mated for crane, crane rails and crane rail beams).

I have also estimated for steel towers (Drawing
10665) for carrying the shaft in the sawmill as this
would run at 300 r.p.m. and its vibration might affect
brickwork. If you think it would be better to relieve
the N.E. and S.W. walls <del>fo</del> of the machine shop of the
vibration of the shafting and also as you may prefer
owing to differences of expansion not to have the steel
uprights embedded in the brick walls perhaps you would
care to :-

1., move the machine shop walls both outward to clear
the steel columns thus making machine shop about
2' wider inside.

Page 94

-- 2 --

2., move the sawmill S.W. wall similarly outward.
3., treat foundry and smithy in the same way.

When the case first came up some 17 months ago you informed
me verbally that the cost of a building similar to our Electric shop
at Shalchiyah (being a building of good type and quite comfortable
to work in) would cost about fils 150 per square foot. One of the
founders' difficulties is that a local engineer has suggested four
to five times that rate.

If therefore your estimate for the workshop buildings as
now proposed comes out much dearer than 150 fils would you suggest
other economies ? If cheaper than brick walling abbestos cement
sheets would do for walls dividing machine shop and sawmill also
erecting shop and sawmill.

As a further economy all labour charges on the steel work
could be omitted as the instructor and two instructor mechanics could
begin by installing the 25 B.H.P. engine housing it in a tempora⟦ry⟧
hut with a drill, hand forge, punch and shears and hacksaw. With
this equipment they could cut up, fit and erect all the steelwork
and roofing out of the school's normal income.

As the plant in a temporary building as mentioned above
would enable them also to make their own permanent fencing will you
kindly say what would be the cost of a temporary wall around the
whole site, say, of mud and topped with broken glass.

Yours sincerely,

[Signature] Sd/- D. Yates.
