Charging Shed Number 8. (Pin 2)
Supplies of H.S from Levinstein Ltd, of Manchester arrived at Chittening toward the end of June 1918. The Castner Kellner Company despatched 5 tons of H.S in drums at the beginning of July. A small consignment of H.S may have been received from Chance & Hunt.
Meanwhile there was feverish activity at Avonmouth by the Explosives Supply Department to construct a pilot plant for the manufacture of H.S as a stop-gap until the main production plant was finished. Production of H.S on the pilot plant began on 3 July 1918. The full scale process started output on 11 September 1918, the hope was to produce 5 tons of H.S per day.
As soon as the H.S feed system in Charging Shed 8 had been filled experimental charging trials began under laboratory supervision. The first production run began on July 8 1918.
