“Cat” Service Class
Be Started Soon
In Fairbanks
SHORT COURSE OF INSTRUC
; TION FOR MEN ACTIVELY
ENGAGED IN CATER
PILLAR WORK
To help tractor drivers and
mechanics become more profic
ient in their work, a Caterpillar
service school will be held in
Fairbanks October 25 to Novem
ber 4, it was announced recently
by Dan Lhamon, in charge of the
N. C. Co. “Cat” department.
“Instruction will be limited to
men actively engaged in Cater
pillar work,” Mr. Lhamon said.
“Mr. Talbott, instructor from
the Caterpillar factory service
; school will teach the classes in
Fairbanks.”
Intensive Short Course
This vocational instruction will
be an intensive short course, di
vided into two classes: (1) Spec
ializing in Caterpillar diesel en
gines for operators of pumping
units, electric generating sets,
dredges, and draglines; (2) Cat
erpillar tractor operators, mech
anics and service men.
Factory tools, charts, diagrams.
\ service publications, and movies
; with sound are to be used by the
! classes. The motion pictures are
to be shown at the Empress The
ater during two afternoons of the
school.
Training Needed
One reason for the school, ac
cording to Mr. Lhamon, is- that
“while servicing machines in the
field we have found instances of
misuse and lack of care, under
which no machine, regardless of
materials or engineering, could
maintain its efficiency.”
Objectives of the short course
of instructions are: (1) Proper
servicing: (2) Lubrication; (3)
Necessary adjustments to compen
sate for normal wear; (4) Special
knowledge required to make ma
: jor repairs.
j A similar service school is to
be held at Anchorage. November
5th to 12th.
The men who attend the school
are required to pay their own
expenses, but there is no tuition
fee.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
FOR SALE—Modern heating
stoves—burn either hard or soft
coal—slightly used, inquire at the
