MOBILE INSPECTION EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES. VOL 2. DETAILED REPORT. FINAL REPORT

A STUDY OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION CONCERNING EQUIPMENT, METHODS AND PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO A MOBILE MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION FACILITY WAS PERFORMED. A SELF-SUFFICIENT FACILITY CAPABLE OF PROVIDING A HIGH QUALITY SAFETY INSPECTION OF PASSENGER VEHICLES AND SMALL TRUCKS WAS DEVELOPED AND EVALUATED UNDER OPERATIONAL USE. THIS FACILITY CONSISTS OF A FORD TYPE C-700 TUCK WHICH CARRIES A DYNAMIC BRAKE ANALYZER, A SIDE SLIP TYPE WHEEL ALIGNMENT INDICATOR, A PATTERN-PHOTOCELL TYPE HEADLAMP TESTER, A POWERED FRONT END LIFT, AND REQUIRED SMALL TOOLS AND MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT. A TRAILER MOUNTED ELECTRIC GENERATOR SUPPLIES POWER. HYDRAULICALLY POWERED CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT PERMITS RAPID UNLOADING AND LOADING. THOSE MOTORISTS WHOSE VEHICLES WERE INSPECTED BY THE FACILITY ENDORSED IT ENTHUSIASTICALLY. OPERATORS FOUND THE FACILITY CONVENIENT TO INSTALL AND OPERATE. A 16 MM DOCUMENTARY MOVIE, WITH SOUND, SHOWING THE OPERATION OF THE FACILITY HAS BEEN PREPARED. /HSL/
