A—16 & THE EvknING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JULY 1935. 25, _— e —— NSPECTION BREF UNDER AUTO L Complete Checking in 1V4 Minutes Only Allowed in D. C. Measure. The enormous task of making 360.- 000 compulsory and probably tens of thousands of additional non-compul- sory annual inspections of motor ve- hicles in the District will be imposed upon a force of only 45 District em- ployes if the compulsory automobile Inspection law passed by the House | this week is enacted into law 7The bill would require the inspec tion each six months of every passen- ger automobile, truck and bus in the . including electric trucks. On of 180,000 motor vehicles, each ree inspection stations pro- 1 the bill would be called upon hour day, this on a burden or 48 per n average of s for each in- a second of g the year at ations. st excessive peak h cars might be ait in line for turns at . the District Traffic De- anning to spread the out as evenly as pos- X months' period, it vy by William A. i gh the details of the plan have not been definitely worked out 1ain periods for inspection. For ex- ample, cars bearing license tags from 1 to 10,000 might be called the first week, 10,000 to 20,000 the second week, and so on This arrangement, Mr. Van Duzer explained, also would simplify enforce- ment of the law. Cars which had Electrical Appliance Users and Purchasers been inspected and approved would be marked with a windshield sticker, and a policeman could tell at a glance whether any car had been submitted for examination within the period designated. “We believe,” Mr. Van Duzer said, “that a force of 15 inspectors at each of the three stations will be sufficient to inspect all District cars. Fifteen men should be able to average 180 cars per hour, or & maximum sverage of 1,000 cars at each station per day.” The 15 inspectors at each station probably will be divided into three teams of five men each and cars will | pass through three inspection lanes. | Inspection of each car should not take more than five minutes, Mr. Van | Duzer said, and the work will be done lin rotation by the crews, so each | station should be able to average three complete inspections a minute. | The Washington system will follow very closely that in effect at Memphis, Tenn, one of the few places in the | country which has adopted the govern- | mental inspection plan. Many States | and cities have adopted the plan of | having automobiles inspected at ap- | proved and licensed private garages and service stations. The plan provided in the House bill, however, would call for inspection by District employes in stations built and maintained by the District. Necessary repairs would be made by the owner at his own expense, and the car would then have to be submitted for a sec- ond inspection. Inspection probably will include brakes, headlights, wheel alignment, steering gear, windshield wiper, tail ight, rear-view mirror, horn and wind- shield. Machines for testing brakes and checking wheel alignment would be arranged to permit the owner him- B a mayonnaise flm:mtltltellly adding GULOENS ‘ Mustard ‘ You expect...you have the RIGHT to re- quir . .years of satisfactory service from any electrical product you purchase—from iron, re- frigerator, range, to complete heating and air- conditioning plant.

Each inspection lane would be di- vided into five stations, with one in- spector at each station, so that 15 cars can be in process of inspection simultaneously at each of the inspec- tion buildings. As the motorist en- tered the inspection lane his name, ad- dress, kind of car &nd license number would be recorded in duplicate at the first station. One card he would carry through the lane, the other would go into file. At the second station headlights would be checked for glare and proper illumination, the tail light, windshield wiper, rear-view mirror and horn would be inspected, and the condition of each test indicated by a punch mark on the owner's card The car then would go to the third station, where the steering gear would be tested for excessive looseness and play and the car driven across a wheel alignment indicator, both results being punched on the card. At the fourth station the car would go onto a brake tester capable of test= ing the efficiency of braking on each wheel. At the fifth and final station the results of all tests, as indicated by the “score card,” is reviewed; and, if the car is passed, a certificate is fastened to the windshield. Should the car fail to pass inspec~ tion, the point or points of failure are noted on the duplicate cards and a period of two or three days allowed for corrections and resubmission of the car. On the basis of experience at Mem- phis, it was explained, a force of 45 inspectors should be able to handle the work here without serious delay or inconvenience to local car owners. At Memphis, 18 inspectors not only were able to handle 40,000 inspections each six months without delay, but with so much efficlency and speed that this year three annual inspections are being made compulsory without in- crease in inspection force or extra ex- pense. With three traffic lanes oper- ating at a single station, the Memphis inspectors have on a number of days handled up to 1,000 cars without undue delay or confusion, according to re- ports received here.
