A DAILY JOB
REGULAR MAINTENANCE As soon as a motor vehicle is put to work wear in some form or another begins, the extent of the wear depending upon the corrective measures taken. In cases w r here machines in daily use are allow r ed to run month in and inontl out, with spasmodic attention, wear on certain parts becomes abnormal, and expensive to eliminate, but maintenance on the “day-by-day'’ method keeps it in check on the easy instalment plan of work, which, taking up very little time from road duties, eventually becomes a habit. Suppose Monday to be “brake day,” every driver knows he must adjust his brakes for the sati--faction of the foreman before he goout. The foreman knows there are so many brakes to look at, and need worry about nothing else, except any emergency reported by a driver. Tuesday may be “steering day,” for example, and the same simple procedure is followed, and this one definite job occupies the attention of each individual driver on given days until, when Saturday comes round, all adjustments have been completed, and the virtuous circle goes on for all time.
