Day 101 - 10 Mar 95 - Page 09

     
     1   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I understand that, but I understand how it
     2        causes some worry as well.
     3
     4   MS. STEEL:   Could you turn to pink volume VIII, please, section
     5        B?
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where do you want?
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:   New tab 8A.  What are these reports?  They are the
    10        ones that you get, are they?
    11        A.  These are weekly summary reports which are sent -- we
    12        ask to be sent into us.
    13
    14   Q.   If you look at the second page, you said that there was the
    15        temperature 5.10?
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   Q.   You said that had been rejected because it was over five
    19        degrees Centigrade?
    20        A.  Yes.
    21
    22   Q.   That is their specification?
    23        A.  Yes.
    24
    25   Q.   It says "bin rejected", that is something that they wrote,
    26        is it?  That is not what you wrote in afterwards?
    27        A.  No, it is something that they wrote in.  It is
    28        something that I would not normally expect to see written
    29        on the summary sheet.
    30
    31   Q.   What would you expect then?
    32        A.  Well, exactly what is in the boxes.  It is a summary of
    33        their more detailed records that they keep daily.
    34
    35   Q.   So how would you know that it was rejected?
    36        A.  Because it is outside the specification.
    37
    38   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They have underlined it, so that you can see
    39        it, in effect -- I mean, not strictly underlined it?
    40        A.  On this particular sheet they have put an asterisk in.
    41
    42   MS. STEEL:  So how you would normally tell whether they rejected
    43        something or not?
    44        A.  Well, if it is above five degrees, it would have been
    45        rejected.
    46
    47   Q.   How do you know that?
    48        A.  Because I know the company and I know from visits to
    49        the company and the people that operate the systems there
    50        that that is what they work to. 
    51 
    52   Q.   So why did they write "bin rejected" then? 
    53        A.  I cannot answer that.  I do not know who wrote that.
    54        May be they felt it was appropriate to write it on this
    55        particular occasion.
    56
    57   Q.   There is one on the previous page, is there not that does
    58        not say it has been rejected?
    59        A.  There is 5.2, yes.
