     1   Q.   The fact that it is 20 per cent of the tests are for
     2        McDonald's is partly because they are only taking a
     3        proportion of what you produce anyway?
     4        A.  Yes.
     5
     6   Q.   And partly because it is raw rather than finished product?
     7        A.  Yes, that is correct.
     8
     9   MR. MORRIS:  Just this page, could you explain what it is?
    10        A.  The OIS is the X-ray machine.
    11
    12   Q.   This is of the final product, is it?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   So, yes?
    16        A.  It just shows you there the weight of product, the
    17        hour, the time it has gone through and the number of
    18        rejects that have come off.
    19
    20   Q.   It says "Observations" and it says "Doubles Plies".  Do you
    21        mean what that means?
    22        A.  Double pieces.  That is just, you know, you get doubles
    23        of Nuggets if you get two stuck together and, obviously,
    24        they get rejected at the same time.
    25
    26   Q.   I see, yes.  On the next page we have pictures of some of
    27        the objects contaminated, yes?
    28        A.  Yes.
    29
    30   Q.   I am not sure what we can make out of that really.
    31
    32   MR. RAMPTON:  I am not sure about that, my Lord.  The left-hand
    33        column tells us what they are, where the observer is,
    34        certainly.  For example, towards the bottom we get a straw
    35        with a picture.
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  These would be rejected -- are these in finished
    38        products?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    41   Q.   So some of these would be bone, yes?
    42        A.  It tells you what they are.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have got it, have we not?  18,000 kilos of
    45        sandwich.
    46
    47   MR. MORRIS:  Sorry, are we on the same page?
    48
    49   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No -- Hold up yours.  Yes, I know, but if you
    50        turn back two pages before; in eight hours in 18,000 kilos 
    51        they found 12 bits of bone or cartilage.  It worked out at 
    52        1.05 pieces of bone or cartilage for every 1,000 kilos of 
    53        meat.  Then we have on your next sheet ----
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  That is 20 in eight hours.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I can only find nine bits of bone there,
    58        three bits of metal and a piece of straw.
    59
    60   MR. MORRIS:  That is in a four hour period.
