How does the Machinery Ring operate?

The Ring is the members contact for all requests. Our job is to match requirements with services available. With such a large number of members and machines, requirements are almost met, especially when booked in advance.

The Demander telephones his local Manager and tells him the service he requires, when he requires it, and if he has a preference for who undertakes the work. The Manager has all necessary information on computer, and will quickly be able to know all the members having this service available and how far away they are from the Demander. If no preference has been expressed as to who will do the work, the nearest will be tried and so on until a supplier can be found to do the job.
