The mechanical department of the railway has workedout an inspection and maintenance schedule utilizingthe dials which is covered in a series of instructionsissued to inspectors. These are reproduced on pages358 and 359. When the inspector checks up the con-ductors registers at night he also checks on a form likethat shown in Fig. 8 the numbers of cars due for A,B or C inspection. This information is turned over to. FIG. i—CHART I\SED FOR COMPUTING MILEAGE FOR ENTRY ON METER CARDS revolution for 5,000, 15,000 and 30,000 for theA, B and C dials respectively. In practice the inspection interval markers are soset that the kilowatt-hour intervals on the B dial aremultiples of those on the A dial, and those on the Cdial are multiples of those on the B dial. Thus thecars are brought in for inspection in accordance withthe coincidence of the moving and stationary brings about the occurrence of ends of two or threeinspection intervals at the same time, with the resultthiat cars are not housed so frequently as they other-wise would be. After an inspection has been made themeter-driven hands which announced the inspection areturned back to a stop pin at zero. To do this a keymust be inserted in a lock which releases the reset the carhouse foreman, who orders the cars in as theycan be spared.
