MECHANICAL TRANSPORT
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR A COURSE FOR OFFICERS (Rec. 8 p.m.) RUGBY, May 20. Exchanging uniforms for overalls, brigadiers and colonels of the Canadian Corps in Britain have been undergoing an intensive three days' course in the practical side of maintenance and repair of mechanical transport. The object of the course was to give them a practical understanding of mechanical problems, and to ensure a common policy of maintenance and inspection of motor transport. After lectures on their own responsibilities for the equipment and responsibilities of all sections down to lorry drivers and despatch riders the officers were given, with the aid of a stripped chassis, demonstrations in the detailed mechanism of the various types of vehicles. Afterwards they performed actual maintenance jobs on lorries, station wagons, staff cars and Bren gun carriers.
