✦ Synopsis
on the design of the machine and its ability to do its work properly and efficiently, but on the availability of the machine, that is to say its maintenance and condition for service. In this connection it is interesting to note the development in the British Army of a new Corps--The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. This Corps was formed under authority of a Royal Warrant to meet a long felt want in the British Army to conserve the technical man power and to co6rdinate electrical and mechanical military engineering in one Corps, as a separate entity. The function of the Corps is (I) inspection and maintenance of tanks, wheeled vehicles, all artillery (including field antiaircraft, and coast defense), small arms and machine guns, radiolocation, fire control, and all other instruments, tunneling equipment, pumping sets, and the installation of coast artillery machinery; (2) repair of all the above equipments consequent upon ordinary wear and tear, or battle casualties; (3) investigation into defects of design and recommendations for improvements; (4) advice on prototype design from a maintenance angle. There is a complete chain for the direction and co6rdination of the technical activities of the R.E.M.E., as the Corps is designated, starting with the Director of Mechanical Engineering in the War Office, Major-General E.
