Take care if a ‘strike’


Cars produced during


strike crisis times may be killers. Or they could be rogue vehicles which cause endless trouble to their luckless owners. This warning of the con­


sequences that can follow from the spate and fre­ quency of strikes in the motor industry has been given by Mr. W. J. Bloomfield to his fellow members of the Insti­ tute of Automobile Asses­


sors. These are the men who


see the results of car acci­ dents and. analyse weak­ nesses or deficiencies that may have caused them.


"Countless times recently,


car production lines have been stopped through short­ age of parts due to strikes.” writes Mr. Bloomfield in the Institute’s Journal.


"When this happens, men


get laid off for days or even weeks, leaving lines of part- finished vehicles. “ It is virtually impos­


sible to ensure that produc­ tion men'pick up on a job precisely where they left off. "Vital nuts, bolts or screws


can be omitted or in­ securely fitted.


Disastrous "This may not be so seri­


ous i f the omissions are spotted during standards or pre-delivery inspections, but some defects may not come to light until 'later, with pos­ sibly disastrous effects.” Added to this grave charge,


Mr. Bloomfield insists that both standard controls at the factory and pre-delivery


-inspections at main dealer­ ships and other manufac­ turers’ outlets, should main­ tain a much higher standard than at present.


' That extra ingredient- quality— arising out of the principle that i f a job is worth doing i t is worth doing well, is very conspicuous by its absence, he claims. Mr Bloomfield does not


stop there in his swingeing denunciation of the defects of the industry. I t is well known that in the


call for greater economy and e f f i c i e n c y manufacturers have drastically pruned down their franchise dealerships in the past year.


Aggravate The idea is for a larger


throughput, and the theoreti­ cally greater facilities that the bigger dealers may be in a position to offer. But according to Mr. Bloomfield, such reductions


will only aggravate the situ­ ation t h a t exists today, namely, that almost every new vehicle has something wrong with it. The problem of dissemina­


ting information about new models and modifications will be increased. Vet it is essen­ tial that potentially danger­ ous faults should be corrected without delay.


yours car


In this grim but unfortun­


ately realistic summing up of the deficiencies of the industry, I can add yet another buyers’ risk which Mr. Bloomfield has omitted. Tills is the car, completed


or semi-completed, which because of 6trike troubles has been left standing with hundreds of others outside for weeks or more.


Remedy The owner realises that


deterioration must set in after ho has bought the car and does his best to check it. He does not expect a car to have started deteriorating


even before it has left the factory. The manufacturers’ answer


to these charges as, of course, that their quality control sys­


tems in conjunction with pre­ delivery checks, find out and remedy all defects.


Almost any motorist who


has taken delivery of a new car has a stinging reply to that one! Checking of. engine and


ignition efficiently to ensure trouble-free motoring is a job for which a garage may use a machine costing several hundred pounds and it will give very effective testing of components. But for a few shillings, the


motorist can carry out a simpler but quite effective test himself. The instrument which enables him to do this


for himself is the Colortime plug. Tho Mark 2 version of this


device gives a wide range of engine and ignition tests. The plug resembles an ordin­ ary one. but has a special glass “window” at the top to enable the ignition process to be observed.


Changes The colour changes which


occur when the fuel-air ratio is varied, are marked by tho ignition flame seen through the window. Too rich a mixture gives a


yellow flame, too weak a white one. The right colour should be a clear Bunsen- bumer blue for SU or Strom- berg carburettors, or a whitish blue for fixed jet ones.


I f there is only one car­


burettor. the mixture can be checked by choosing any one cylinder. For twin carburet­ ters, it Is necessary to check tlie mixture from each. The Colortone plug does


more than this. A faulty capacitor, for instance, will produce intermittent bright white flashes. A weakness in any one


cylinder is likely to show up as an orange-yellow. Running the engine with and without the air filter will indicate whether this needs renewing.


Timing A dirty filter results in a


rich mixture, a clean one should not make any differ­ ence to the mixture being burned.


DRUNK IN CHARGE


A motorist can be charged


and bo found guilty of driv­ ing when drunk, even if tests have shown that his blood alcohol level is below the 80 mg figure which is an automatic offence under the breathalyser legislation. The charge can be based


on the earlier “drunk in charge” laws which do not call for any prescribed alco­ hol standards. That is one of the many


points brought out in the book “The Truth About Breath Tests” by Dr. Ronald Denney. For those who are affected


by the drink laws—and 50,000 motorists were stopped last year and tested by the police—this book is a valu­ able guide. He is not altogether happy


about the accuracy of the present testing system, cither by the breath test or by the blood check. He feels there is difficulty in judging the green coloration in poor light at night. He wants a second breath


test at the police station before a blood one is -taken “ in the interests of common justice”. Meanwhile, he calls for


studies to check the extent of mis-reading that can occur under artificial light. “Until this has been done,


it should not be an offence to refuse to take a breath test in the street if one is given immediately afterwards at tho police station.” he writes. Ho adds that there is con­


siderable doubt .about the accuracy of the present breath test in practice. “A complete reassessment


is now essential i f public confidence in the system is to bo restored,” he says. On the matter of blood


testing he says that in taking samples for analysis several changes are similarly needed. He also wants anyone


involved in a road accident, cyclist or pedestrian, to be liable to take the test. Research lias stated, he points out. that more than 400 per cent, of pedestrians killed in road accidents had alcohol in their blood. Selling at 25s.. this book


could be very useful to the motorist who is no drunkard, but who wants to know about and keep within the law.


A faulty H.T. lead will also


show up. And since it is possible to see exactly when the spark occurs, t-ho static timing of the engine can be checked. An advisory ser­ vice is available to users. This . operation should


obviously be carried out in conjunction with a check on the condition of the ordinary plugs, which should be cleaned or replaced.

course in 10 house groups, and in Martin's group were boys from as far afield as Lon­ don and Ireland. Their days were spent_ in


theory instruction, v o i c e training, talks with the chap­ lain. and chapel practice. Afternoons were free, and


after further chaDel practice, evensong was sung in the lovely chapel at the school. The course lasted a week


and the climax came on the last evening when parents and friends heard evensong


sung bv the large choir. Many special anthems were


learned, among them “I Know That Mv Redeemer Liveth" and “Ponder My Words”. Martin is a choris­ ter -n-t Chatburn Parish
