          The "feed back" of information will be in the form of daily quality control charts sent to line foremen. In addition, hourly quality control, tabulations will be maintained for greater quality accuracy.

          To help the quality control task-force carry out their important assignments, an array of quality control checking devices are located along the assembly line.

          Among these devices are:

          1.     An "R-l" master body checking fixture - - - - - this device is designed to spot check bodies as to accuracy of dimension and to indicate to quality men. if dimensional adjustments are needed.

          2.     Plastic "plug" or template - - - - - these are different sized templates made to the exact dimensions of windshield, back window, and door openings. The "plugs" are fitted into these body-shell openings during the pre-assembly process to determine accuracy of dimension.

          3.     Static water-test booth - - - - - located near the final assembly line, this booth will be used, to spot check the efficiency of the water-test booth which is located on the final line.

          4.     The "hot room" - - - - - temperature and humidity are accurately

controlled in this specially insulated room to check on the efficiency of operation of air conditioning units under varying temperature conditions.

          5.      Automatic leak detector or "sniffer" - - - - - the "sniffer" is an electronic device used to detect refrigerant leakage in air conditioning unit lines. If leakage is detected proper line adjustments can easily be made to correct situation.
