Abstract: In outlininp our meter shop practice I have purposely omitted too much detail as regards tests, records, classification of repairs, etc. I am sure yoii are all familiar with procedure of this nature. I ill endeavor to follow practical lines without thought of having our methods adopted unless they seem logical and would be of material benefit. All incoming meters arc allowed to remain in the proving room over night, proved the following morning, placed in their respective classifications as to age, proof, and previous repairs, our meters are proved and adjusted according to accepted standards, repaired meters 1% slovv, OK meters not more than 2% slow, new meters from 1 to 1J% slow, all OK iron meters that are more than )j4% slow are adjusted to 1% slow following the initial test. OK and partial repairs are taken care of in the usual manner of which I am sure you are all familiar. Meters classiiied for oiling have the tops and back plates removed, diaphragms tested at 4 W. C, those passing this test are sent, to the oiling bench, those showing leaks have their fronts and backs removed, diaphragms are inspected and tested in water.
