f. Automotive craft activities also go beyond the repair
of an individual's vehicle. The Army encourages a diversi-
fied program with instruction in maintenance, repair,
safety and good driving habits. Supervisors organize car
clinics, road rallies, gymkhanas, obstacle course competi-
tions, safety inspections and demonstrations.
Classes of instruction in auto mechanics, anti-
g.
pollution control, upholstery, air conditioning, welding
and body work may also be conducted in conjunction
with the Army General Education Development (G.E.D.)
Program. These classes may utilize the auto repair facili-
ties for practical laboratory experience necessary to
develop skills and to meet certain Military Occupational
Speciality
(MOS)
requirements.
2-2 Auto Crafts
a. One Auto Crafts Center is the authorized minimum
requirement for each installation. The establishment of
additional auxiliary auto crafts centers must be justified
Centers
by degree of interest, size of installation, and the dispersal
of the installation population. Authorization to establish
and operate an auxiliary facility will be predicated on
availability of funds, supervisory personnel, and the maxi-
mum authorized space allowance as established by the
Department of Defense Construction Criteria Manual,
4270.1M.
b. Facilities can be functionally divided into the follow-
ing areas: general repair and tune-up stalls; muffler and
tire shop; lubrication stalls; body shop; spray paint booth;
steam cleaning stall; machine shop and welding area; class-
room space; tools and parts storage; off ice space; utility
and service areas.
c. Since participants will include dependents and re-
tirees, Auto Crafts Centers must be accessible to and
usable by the physically handicapped. Refer to ER
1110-1-102, Design for the Physically Handicapped, for
