IN order to facilitate the execution of work under chassis, particularly of the modern low type, the Garage Creeper Mat has been produced by Mr. C. E. Styles, of 80, weathertone Road. King's Death, Birmingham. This consists of .a wood framework with battens -to support a mechanic's weight.. Two of these battens are extended to carry a padded headrest and underneath the main frame are four ball-bearing castors.
The height has been kept down to a minimum, so as not to reduce the headroom any more than is necessary. The retail price has been fixed at 19s. 6d., and the device appears to be strong and well Made. In use, the -mechanic lies en the Mat with his head on the rest. Ile can then propel himself with the aid of his hands, and thus can easily place himself underneath any part of the chassis.
