File comprising engineering correspondence, cost evaluations, and technical summaries charting the progress, mechanical specifications, and financial oversight of the Central Heating Contract at Rochestown College, County Cork. Includes a letter dated 3 August 1932 from Dublin-based consulting engineer Desmond McAteer to the college Rector, Fr. Bonaventure Murphy OFM Cap., summarizing a complex account dispute with the contracting firm, McCanns. The document outlines a base contract of £1,010 with extra charges totalling £73 for a steel boiler, control valves, and specialized pipe circuits in two dormitories; it balances these figures against a 10% retention fund, prior payments of £600, and a £292 legal penalty enforced against the contractors for an accrued 241-day project delay. The surrounding file contains similar letters and progress sheets tracking oil consumption estimates, engineering adjustments, and contractor negotiations necessary to complete the college’s early-1930s structural modernization.
