A NEW SCIENCE
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER j Mr. J. Coates, transportation en- | gineer, has arrived at the plant of ! General Motors, New Zealand, Ltd., 1 and his services are available to all businessmen throughout the country who have commercial hauling problems upon which they desire expert advice. Mr. Coates came here from the United States, where for the last three months he has been attending the transportation conference conducted by the General Motors Export Company at New York and Pontiac, Michigan. Specifically the transportation engineer is trained to survey a given operation and determine, first, whether automotive haulage is the most economical; second, what kind of equipment should be purchased; third, the most economical method of operating this equipment. The services of this expert in this territory will be extended to all firms with transportation problems, whether they are operators of one small truck and bus or a hundred. The engineer’s job is not primarily to sell General Motors automotive products, but rather the general idea of transportation.
