nspection-card System
MHE commercial-users' department of
Teealemit, Ltd., Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex, has foreseen the opportunity of being of considerable assistance to commercial-vehicle users in regard to the provision of the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933, under which, for the .purpose of securing that goods vehicles are maintained in a, fit and serviceable condition, the Minister of Transport is to appoint examiners.
This has raised a certain amount of anxiety amongst some goods-vehicle 3324
owners, and Tecalemit, Ltd., finds that they welcome the opportunity of obtaining a carefully thought-out scheme for the inspection of their vehicles by a responsible member of their own staff, particularly as this scheme embraces all those parts to which attention is most likely to be directed. The scheme calls for no office work and is provided by Tecalemit, Ltd., to users on its books free of charge, or at a cost of 2s. 6d. for a box file and 12 cards, replacement cards being is. a dozen.
All that is required is one commercialuser routine sheet for each vehicle. The sheets are supplied complete with box file. The earths themselves are practically self-explanatory as to their method of use. They are, designed to form a record of 13 fortnightly inspections.
The user's inspector fills in the top portion of the card with all the required details and, in the first column, the date of the first inspection and mileage. He then initials each of the listed parts, provided that the parts are in safe and satisfactory condition and are, where necessary, adequately lubricated. At the bottom of the listed parts will be found a space for the mention of a particular item which, on individual vehicles, may require special attention.
Fleet owners will appreciate that if routine inspection sheets be returned to the box file only after every item has been initialled as being satisfactory, they will then have before them the cards of several vehicles which will need attention in the subsequent fortnight and prior to the next inspection date.
As will probably happen, the Ministry inspector may present himself during this period; the fleet owner is then able to point out the vehicles which are, in his opinion, in a satisfactory condition and those receiving attention.
