THE PRACTICAL SIDE
TRANSPORT COURSE FOR
SENIOR OFFICERS
LONDON, May 20
Exchanging their uniforms for overalls, brigadiers and colonels of the Canadian Corps in Britain have been undergoing an intensive three-day course in the practical side of the maintenance and repair of mechanical transport. The object of the course was to give them practical understanding of mechanical problems and ensure a common policy in the maintenance and inspection of motor transport.
After lectures on their own responsibilities for equipment and the responsibilities of all sections, down to lorry drivei-s and dispatch riders, the officers were given, with the aid of a stripped chassis, demonstrations in detail of the mechanism of the various types of vehicles. Afterwards they pcx-formed actual maintenance jobs on lorries, station wagons, staff cars, and Bren gun carriers.—U.P.A.
