One "little" job this section handled was to move, piece by piece and reassemble, an entire blister type hangar from its old location near Air Corps Supply to the rear of the Third Echelon Yard, a distance of some 600 yards. The Automoive Section was responsible for the maintenance and repair of aprox. three hundred and fifty vehicles of all types.
