AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE

Technical production by Burton Holmes. "This film uses photography and narration to explain the requirements and advantages of automotive service as a prospective vocational field for boys. First the development of automobiles is sketched from the early models, and the paraphernalia which our increased use of autos in modern life has resulted in a greater need for men experienced in the work of repairing and servicing them." "Then various specialized shop jobs are shown, with the explanation that many of these men in time become specialists since general service training is a basic requirement for all specialized jobs." "The values to him of alertness and constant study of progress on the job are stressed, and the student who is interested in automotive service as a vocation is advised to lay a strong foundation of high school courses in physics, mathematics, mechanical drawing and management are sketched, and the film closes with a suggestion of the rewards which a young man may gain by qualifying himself for work in the films." "A good film. Although the considerable amount of material included necessitates a somewhat rapid tempo, the information given is well-balanced and interesting and perfectly sound and excellent."
