GUN REPAIRING A BIG MILITARY PROBLEM

f contained upon two or thrc" motor trucks, ingenously arranged The
 floor of the lorres carry light lathcs
 and drilling machines driven by cleo
 tric transmission from the engine of
 the automobile, light being furnished 1 from the same source The trucks look like ordinary closed motor cars when travelling, but on duty the sides of the vans drop down to form a plat form around the machinery and the interiors arc transformed into buzzing hives of activity. Their capacity is limited to the work than can be hand
 led on the comparatively light tools that they carry.
 The next stage is the "Mcdium Mo- bile Workshop" This ls no longer self contained on motor trucks, ready to Timber up and be off at moment 1 It carries machinery that must be un- loaded and installed in some conv"ni- ! tHL Sicu' I' NHoIc lN il'Il9"bl'b on motor trucks. but the work ls not carried on in the trucks Th"ra i5 bolted down to a hastily constructed foundation.

AS a commercial proposition Mr.

freighters OF 10000 tons dead weight
each. Making one round trip from the

Nr. Bogert would protect his mother
