Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ANEW servie'e station which will be devoted solely to the repair of road springs has been opened by the Brockhouse Spring Service Co., at Cohbold Estate. Cobbold Road, Willesden, London, N.W.10. This company is owned by J. Brockhouse and Co., Ltd,, West Bromwich, one of the largest makers of trailers and springs in the country, which also controls spring-service stations. in Birmingham, Leeds and Glasgow.

The new works are equipped with .machines, furnaces, etc., for the highly specialized operations involved in resetting springs and replacing broken /eaves, and are manned by skilled employees who have been trained in the parent company's main works. It

should prove of the utmost value to operators and repairers, in.London and the Home Counties.

It is the intention of the new company to concentrate purely upon spring repair work. It does not intend to manufacture new springs, although repair work obviously includes the making of new leaves, nor will it undertake the work of removing springs from chassis and replacing them. Quick service will be given, the job in many cases being completed the day it arrives at the works, and when a spring is judged to be beyond repair, it will be possible for a new one to be obtained from the main works within 24 hours.

Among the main items of equipment in the new building are a large gas-fired two-compartment hardening and tempering furnace, a heavy rolling, shearing and punching machine, a powerful tool for forming Spring eyes, etc., and a small furnace for use in conjunction with it. There are. also the usual machines for incidental operations— grinders, presses, etc.—whilst a big stock of spring steel is held, together with centre and U bolts, clips, hushes and so forth. The service includes the collection and delivery of springs.
