CAR REPAIR RECORDS OF THE DETROIT UNITEDRAILWAY D. U. R. MECH. DEPT. Sylvester Potter, master mechanic of the Detroit UnitedRailway, has adopted a simple system for keeping car re- O. Detroit United Car Repair Record Board reports a clerk enters the repairs made to each car on theproper card in the record index. When a car leaves theshop and is returned to service the date is entered in thethird column of its card. Both sides of the index cardsare ruled alike, so that a large number of entries can .bemade on a single card. In this way a complete and con-densed history of each car on the system is kept in onesmall case in the office. Another simple and convenient featureof the system of shop records used by thiscompany is a board mounted on the wallof the master mechanics office, whichshows at a glance the location of everycar in the shops. This board is 36 and 18 in. high, and is ruled into31 rectangles, representing the 31 repairtracks of the Monroe Avenue tracks accommodate two cars each,and in each space on the board are twohooks on which small record tags arehung. These tags, one of which is repro-duced, are 1% in. x 3 in., and are print-ed
