11 MR. RAMPTON: I am coming to it. I am slightly irritable because

13 conversation going on on my right, which I find
14 distracting. Page 25, please, Mrs. Barnes. This is part
15 of the applied equipment course, do you see?
16 A. It is, yes.
17
18 Q. There is a syllabus day one, and the time is in the

20 Do you see that?
21 A. I do, yes.

49
50 MS. STEEL: "Training for the 90s" on page 355, and 354.
51
52 MR. RAMPTON: "Training in the 90s", Mrs. Barnes, it says page 1
