TRUCK RECORDS

AID
General Motors Use Facts
Gathered in Maintaining
Quality Of Product

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 49,
Utilization of service records for
the advancement Of the motor truck
industry was one Of the major
points stressed at the joint service
convention of the National Auto.
mobile Chamber of Commerce ano
the Society of Automotive Engineers.
held in Hotel Winton, this city, this
week. The convention was attended
by chief engineers. representing the
s. A. e., and service managers.
DELEGATES OF the N. A. c. c., from
virtually every automotive manu-
facturer of the country.
How the intelligent use of service
records has proven OF great praS
teal aid to the motor truck ~
dustry was brought out by 3. Y:
Norton, service manager OF General
Motors Truck Company, who read
q paper on ''Utilizing Motor Truck
Service Records"
Records Are Aids.
ssThe more that we study the
possibilities OF utilizing serves
records we are accumulating, saIu
Mr.. Norton. "the more we are I'm.
messed with their great value. NC.
only as q means OF maintaining tne
quality Of the product but also 2.
improving our service in the Ileld.
M. Norton described the system
in vogue at the General Motors
Truck company. Reports Of field
service men are received, copied
and placed in q master file. Copies
are at once sent to the CHIEF
engineer. service manager, general
NJ anager. assistant general mana
ger. sales manager and factory
manager. The contents OF these
reports are taken up as subjects
for discussion at weekly meetings
of the manufacturing COMMITTEES,
which is composed of the officials
named.
Experience AZ Hand.
As q result OF this method, Mr.,
Norton said. factory officials have
before them, and without delay
the actual experiences Of trucks
In all kinds of service. Suggeo'
tons contained in these reports
have been the background of many
of the advanced mechanical i'm
l.rovements that have been incor
rorAted into the company's prod
uct.
Mr.. Norton's talk was illustrated
by slides showing report forms
and methods Of testing used by
the engineering and service de
partmeEts. Following his address,
discussion was led by promi-
nent service managers.

CARE IN choice
Of MODELS
URGED
Oscar cooIican, Head Of D.
6. Packard Firm, Gives
Points to Buyers

Motorists who exercise sufficien6
judgment to select the proper make
and model Of car Ton their particulars
needs obtain . double advantage,
according to Oscar Coolican. presE,'
dent Of Packard washington, Inc,
local Packard dealers.
In his opinion, the good judg.
ment which a motorist displays
when picking out the right car fof
his special needs is also guarantee
Of good Judgment in ownership ana
management.
It IL invariably true, he says,
that persons who select good cars
obtain maximum satisfaction from
them, not merely because the cars
are reliable, but because the same
good Judgment displayed ii the
selection process il applied to the
work Of keeping the car fit ana
productive.
Speaking Of the value Of wisdom
in ownership as an invaIualSlo
factor in car success, AIr. coelican
adds:
'"The psychology OF car owner.
ship is such that If q motorist
feels that he has made an unwise
selection. or If his friends discount
his judgment in that selection, he
win not give the car such care
end attention as 1T requires IL
maximum results are 10. be oh.
tained. Somehow the idea haunts
him that nothing that he can do
will compensate for the mistake
he made originally.
when motorist selects a car
that is exactly the sort Of n.achina
he should buy he does not have
to learn how to take good care oi
il. Because he is governed by good
judgment ia the selection proce&
he is fully equipped to give tlS
car every attention 1t may requiH
for full efficiency. The fact tha
he buys wisely encourages him
grove that he can obtain the groa
est possible service from his pu
chase"
The Washington times., 1924-11-19

Privileges Too broad.
Refusing to grant q license Until
q TnotoFist has demonstrated HIS
ability to drive his own vehicle does
not contribute to the safety Of the
highways unless that license limits
him to the operation Of that one
type of vehicle alone; otherwise the
person licensed is legally privileged
to operate any motor vehicle, which
Ii a privilege he is not entitled to
until he has demonstrated his abil.
ity to drive all kinds of cars and
trucks with equal facility. For the
motorist who desires to be licensed
to drive more than one make OF
type of motor yehicle--and who can
demonstrate, by test, his ability to
do so-there should be a higher
grade of license which would cover
the situation.
In other words, present conditions
demand that there should no sew.
eral grades of operators licenses
which would take into consideration
the tact that the person who has
demonstrated his ability to operate
one motor vehicle may be entirely
unprepared to operate another. ANY
motorist who has attempted d
drive car with planetary gear
system after being accustomed "a
the selective speed type win admit
that the conventional operators Il
cense gives him a privilege f0I
which he is in no way qualified.
1t is quite evident. however, that
we are not aware Of the great
danger that turks in this universal
and lax method of licensing opera,
tors. The conventional operators
license specifically states that the
person named thereon Is entitled
to operate q motor vehicle within
the territory Of the commonwealth
which issues it; but "a" motor We
hicle may be ANY" motor vehicle
and reciprocity automatically ma
tionalizes the privilege. II the
driver of q twenty.horsepOwer road
gter takes q notion to operate q
five-ton truck vehicle equipped
with different system Of controls
he is privileged to do SO.

Of handling motor vehicles he Is

reason why the average driver
should be limited to the operation
Of the type Of vehicle he Is accus-
toned to.
Three Grades Urged.
It has been suggested that
licenses be divided into three grades
First, limiting the driver to the
operation Of either one passenger
vehicle or one commercial vehicle;
second. giving the driver an un.
limited license to drive any passen.
ger vehicle or any commercial We
hicle: third, giving the driver the
right to operate all motor vehicles
Of every kind and description. A
sliding scale OF fees would accom-
pany the grades, the fee being
higher TOR the unlimited license
privilege. More careful analysis OF
the subject, however, shows that
certain changes in this plan would
be advisable.
In view Of the fact that this
grading Of licenses il designed pri.
marily az q safety measure, IL
would be advisable to reverse the
scale Of fees, grouping them, SO
that the highest type would be the
least expensive. This would, there.
fore. automatically stimulate an in
terest in driving and in driving

competently, with the result that
operators would endeayor to know
all makes and types OF vehicles so
that IL occasion arose they would
be competent-and licensed to OPP
crate all cars. The commercial
operator with an unlimited license
would benefit through being better
qualified for any driving Job he
might apply for, and this in turn
would benefit motoring in general
by. putting more competent drivers
at the wheels Of our commercial
vehicles.
Under our present system Of II.
censing, anyone who demonstrates
his ability to drive one particular
vehicle is privileged to drive any
vehicle, and the. result Of this is
that thousands OF cars are con.
stantly being operated by persons
unqualified for the task. GradinR
licenses would not only be assur-
ance that each operator was quail.
filed to handle any car or cars FOR
which he was licensed. but would
encourage operators to become more
familiar with the controls of cara
and the various types OF vehicles
II would be an important contribu,
ton to safe and sane motor car
regulation.
