Scope and content
Air conditioning for the Model 50 would need to be between 150 and 400 square feet; £10,000 is a reasonable estimate. Partition costs for internal walls would be around £8 - £10 per foot. A good quality acoustic ceiling would cost 5s to 10s per square foot. Recommends sinking the main floor slab so that steps and ramps become unnecessary. An 029 Card Punch requires 50 square feet, so five could be fitted into a room 16 feet by 16 feet.
