. Electric railway journal . overhauling record, giving a completeoverhauling history of each car with corresponding mile-ages; wheel record; axle record; gear record; series oftrouble records, including car body, trucks and hand-brakenggng. air brakes, motor compresser and governor, 7jS/2-in. shop record card on which are entered the times ofentering and leaving each shop, together with an account ofthe work done. In addition to the card records, several composite recordsare made on blueprints for posting. One of these is the ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL [Vol. XLI, No. 21. car-painting record. By this system it is possible to as-semble the complete car-painting record for four years ona chart less than 2 ft. x 3 ft. in size. The chart is dividedinto twelve vertical spaces, each of which is subdivided intocolumns for the car numbers and for each year. Thepainting record is made by means of abbreviations as fol-lows: A, car burnt off, painted and varnished; B, carpainted and varnished; C, car cut in and varnished; D,. Buffalo Car Maintenance—Tools and Jigs for FinishingTrolley Wheels car touched up and varnished. In the spaces are re-corded, by means of these abbreviations, the painting opera-tion and the date. By this means the superintendent canhave always before him the exact status of the painting-work, and as many copies of the chart can be made as isfound desirable. Another useful chart is that of cars pulled in for re-pairs. This chart is of the same size as the other, and itis divided up into vertical columns for the car numbersand for records of causes of trouble. There :s one spacefor each day of the week, a new chart being requiredweekly. An index to fifty-one causes of trouble gives akey number for each cause and these key numbers are usedin entering the records. In the index are vertical columnsfor recording the totals of troubles from each source foreach day and for the week. The columns can be totaledvertically also to obtain the total number of defects
