Yet a collection of small mirrors will be found to be very useful tools. For instance, when examining the differential, into which a light cannot be inserted, a, small mirror will be found useful to reflect thw light from a lamp into the deeper recesses'. Again, when working in back of the instrument board, a mirror may be placed on the floor of the car, reflecting the light upward. One great advantage of this is that the light need not be held close to the face, which not only makes for discomfort,' but frequently defeats its own purpose by supplying sufficient light to temporarily blind the worker, It x is a good plan to attach handles Source of Light to the mirrors so that they may Light is obtained by allowing be inserted into narrow places. an electrical current to flow ' .
