One of the most important features was that it brought to the local Ford dealer the same system and methods as employed in the Ford Motor Co., Canada. The Manly assembling table was also demonstrated. This piece of equipment handled the motor while it was being dismantled or assembled. ° Tlie use of a crank case aligning jig for crank cases which required to be straightened or repaired was also demonstrated, and a little time was also spent by Mr Brown in showing liow a modern garage should be laid out. The use of micrometers was also stressed, it being pointed out that all operations were being done strictly to measurement.
