Parts from Millions in Stock
6
In 1967 over nine hund-
red thousand motor vehicles
were produced in Canada.
The parts going into their
manufacture numbered in
the millions. The number of
individual makes and mod-
els and the staggering num-
ber of options available
adds up to a crazy -quilt of
combinations with which
the nation's service outlet
must contend. To add to the
compexity of parts supply
many Isf the components
change year by year.
For the automotive parts
companies and their chan-
nels of distribution, the
problem becomes moment-
ous. When a car owner
needs service, no matter
Where he may be or what
make and model he is driv-
ing, parts must be readily
available.
A good example of the
complexity of this parts
distribution problem can be
seen in the exhaust system.
One Canadian manufactur-
er's catalogue lists some
3,500 different exhaust sys-
tem items. Virtually every
make and model car requir-
ed different sizes and
shapes of components. Most
jobbers steck an average
selection of 300 mufflers,
exhaust pipes and tail
pipes. ,
For a service station to
carry every type would cre-
ate an insurmountable in-
ventory and storage prob-
lem. Nevertheless, nearly
any mechanic in Canada
in a matter of an hour or
two, install a muffler and
tail pipe on virtuallY any
make and model car likely
to come into his shop.
The motorist may assume
that, when he drives into a
garage or service 'station,
the parts his car needs will
be readili available. Thanks
to a sophisticated parts dis-
tribution network they pro-
bably will be.

The chain of events is
capsuled by Mr. W. A. Raf-
tery, Executive Vice-presi-
dent of the Motor and
Equipment Manufacturer's
Association; whose organiz-
ation is made up of leading
maken of automotive parts
chemicals and service
equipment..
"To begin with," he ex-
plains, the life blood of the
manufacturer is _efficient
distribution of his products.
A company wouldn't stay
in buSiness long if there
were not a well organized
system of getting the pro-
duct to the consumer.
"At the other end of the
chain, the service station,
specialty shop, gtqage and
other outlets depend upon
manufacturer and ware-
house to have parts when
needed.
"The whole process be-
gins with the parts maker,
who sends his products to
the distributor and jobbers
who in turn supply the gar-
ages, service stations, car
dealers and other retail ser-
vice outlets. •
"When a service station
or garage doesn't have a
particular part on hand, or
doesn't have necessary in-
formation about the part,
he can get the information,
the part and even special
' tools necessary to install
the part from his jobber
or warehouse,
"Often, this service is
provided in a matter of
minutes.
"This constant flow of
parts, equipment and infor-
mation makes it possible
for today's motorist to loSe
little time getting his car
repaired," Mr. Raftery con-
cluded.
Despite this complicated
business of partsdistribu-
tion, the industry manages
to keep pace with the ever
increasing demand and
changes. Throughout the
country thousands upon
thousands of trained per-
sonnel are dedicated to the
job of knowing what is
needed for every car pro-
duced.

plete the two.step program

it is a major advance in the
interest a greater safety on the
highway. It will nequire inspeos
tian of more than 600,000 used
vehicles each year; About two-
thirds of this number are sold
by dealers and were coveredby
the amendahent last year; the
remaining one-third are sold
,priyabely and Willi:come „under
the new amendment. These in-
spections are required at a mit."

wheru owners are disposingof
their vehicles, and when an in-
spection may be opportune. -
SCHOOL BUSES

Certain municipalities in Ont-

school bus stopping law accord-
ing to an amendment to Section
94 of the Highway Traffic Act.
Municipalities have a large
part of the responsibility for
the safety of children and they
have many types of protective
traffiC control devices. The
amendment empowers municip-
alities to assess the provision,
far flashing red lights on schohl
buses, and the requirement of
motorists to shop in relation to
other safety measures and local
conditions. Several municipalit-

MOTORCYCLISTS
Effective September 1, 1068
A new section of the 'Act
requines the operators and
passengers of motorcycles to
wear helmets—
The Department a Transp-
ort has encouraged the wear-
ing of helmets in the past, but
had not made them mandatory
for one excellent reason, there
was no set of standards that
could realistioallyibe specified!
for • the kind of helmet to be
worm, and without stsph stand-
ards a •law to prescribe helmets
would be in -
Recently the Canadian Stand-
ards Association published spec-
ifications and performance Stan-
dards for motorcycle helmets.
These standards and specificat-
ions provide an authoritative
•- basis to which flits, Department
may refer, and therefore make
it practical to make helmets
m andatory.
Helmets will be requiredj for
passen.gers as well as operators.
Standards for these helmets will
be announced soon.
