Can be VISUALLY CONTROLLED by this NEW Labour Saving System
A Visible Check on Costs, Mileages, Repairs, Fuel, Maintenance Those responsible for the operation of vehicle fleets, whether they have just a few or a large number of vehicles, need a considerable amount of current information in order to ensure every vehicle pays its way '.
In the past this has necessitated a considerable amount of clerical work, searching among vehicle dockets, mileage returns, fuel invoices, etc.
A new system has now been evolved in conjunction with commercial vehicle owners and manufacturers.
A number of visible records, one for each vehicle, arc housed in compact portable panels.
The edge of each record overlaps and is permanently visible. No pages to thumb through — a glance and a flick and you have the vehicle. And on this visible edge is the description, vehicle number and salient details. Colour signals can show when the next overhaul is due or any urgent matter which requires watching.
On the body of the record are shown important details such as engine number, chassis number, body capacity, unladen weight, tax, purchase, etc. There are columns to record over three years oil and petrol consumption, miles operated, costs, depreciation, etc. Maintenance work is shown with overhauls to bearings, clutch, brakes, steering, etc., etc.
It is more than just a record of every vehicle — you can quickly ascertain costs per vehicle, pay loads, etc. Maintenance is simplified and no vehicle can miss its routine overhaul. Many operators advise us that the overall saving by ensuring correct maintenance more than covers the low initial cost of this speedy system.
The system is elastic. It can be used in conjunction with your Stores' Stock Records, Hiring and Customer Records, Wages and Personnel Records and Sales and Purchase Records, so that visually you can control each whole department or business.
Just jot "Vehicle Record" on your letterheading for full details by return. Add also other systems you wish to be embodied, such as Stocks, Passenger Vehicle Records, Wages, Personnel, Sales & Purchase, Plant & Machinery.
