All days were from sunup to dark, average about 13 hours per day.
The installation at Aomon followed the same pattern.
95% of the
trouble at both banks could be laid to poor fuel and fuel pumps.
Stalling engines from fuel troubles greatly effected the morale of the
operator and the total output of distilled water.

The Navy unit on Parry installed their own two 1200 GPD Badger
units to which we later added a 3000 GPD Cleaver-Brooks, as the Badgers
began to scale toward the end of the project.

In the last of January, a school was set up at the Port Mess.
A salvaged 1200 GPD Badger, a new 3500 GPD Badger and the Meco diesel
stills were used. The students were from the stateside to be used in
weather stations in nearby areas.
A colored team from the Port company
took over later.
It is suggested that rain water collecting facilities be set up
for the permanent garrison to eliminate the use of stills as much as
possible,
Well water should also be used, and the use of the-installed diatemite filters will make the water safe to use for any purpose except
vehicle radiators and boilers, where rain water should be used.
Trained operative personnel should always be available.
