the 594th OrdnanceService company, composedoffive officers, 64
enlisted me nand 864 Japanese employes,perform heavy maintenancefor
all Army vehicles insouthern Japan.The Tudo shops in the pastsix
months have repaired(often completely rebuilt) 863vehicles and
17,704 units andprovided a direct exchange of3 , 7 1 7 parts.A
system has been set up atthese Tudo shops whereby theunit tbrning
in a vehicle forrepairs is deprived of its usefor the shortest
possible lengthof time. If a vehicle cannot berepaired hi less than
30 daysit is replaced by a similarvehicle from depot stock.

One reason for the speedwith which vehicles movethrough the Tudo
shops is thework of the Allied Trades, adivision of the shop that
cor-responds to a service section.Here old units are rebuilt
andissued to all Ordnance shopinstallations. A using unit hasonly
to turn in a worn part toreceive a rebuilt replacement.The Tudo
heavy shops areset up on a basis that makeseconomical use of
