An investigation was begun last year when it was "noted by C. G. (Pete) Chandler and Blake P. Hel- berg that numerous rejects were due to wear on fork lift occurring inter-slidon lift mast assemblies, necessitating continuous replacement of the slides.

To establish the new interval. several trips were made to com mercial automotive concerns to ob tain information on methods em ployed by them. As a result of such surveys and data compiled, a new procedure specifying lubrica tion after every period of actual operation and maintenance and inspection following each 120 hours of operation was proposed, Seek Hours of Operation It then became necessary to es tablish a "foolproof" means for ascertaining the actual hours of operation for each vehicle. Conse quently, additional data was compiled and the resultant method of converting the fuel consumption to hours of operation was arrived at by first determining the amount of gasoline consumed by each type of vehicle during an hour's contin uous operation. Then, by record ing the total amount of fuel con sumed by a given vehicle and dividing that figure by the average amount consumed per hour, the actual hours of operation were read ily computed. To conclude the project, Jlq Of fice Instruction No. 66-- 1 was drafted by quality control employees and "upon its publication the new system went into effect estimated to result in a saving of approximately $57,000 per year. 30-da- 40-ho- ur Training Courses Conducted By Mobile Detachment The 28th Logistic Support Squadron has been undergoing a series of courses in the C model of the aircraft conducted by the C-1- 24 Training detach- Mobile ment from Chanute AFB.
