Machinery users should develop a keen sense of preventive upkeep of their equipment ,so that the slightest irregularities in the functioning of machinery shall be corrected before they can lead to more severe damage. The efficient upkeep of machinery requires a continuity and attention which tends to be weakened by various factors, such as boredom, lack of money, a wrong idea about upkeep, the hoarding of spare parts, the destruction of one machine to repair another, a mistaken notion by the mechanic that a machine should be kept working as long as possible, even when it is working badly. Consequently, before studying the specific functions of each type of machine, it is essential to emphasize how important it is to keep them in good repair, and incentives should be offered with that end in view.
