I think being a Packard tech in almost any year speaks volumes for the guys who were able to keep up with things.

Assuming you had easy access to or something was even mentioned in a service manual or covered on a bulletin and you remembered it was, could you take the time to find and read it if it counted against the flat rate.

In earlier years, can you imagine trying to remember prefixes and suffixes on motor numbers -- which ones meant a different service procedure or part and which ones you could ignore. Not only that but sometimes the suffix in one year meant something different the next.

Dabs of paint here and there with different colors meaning different things or maybe a complete revision which might affect what you were doing.

Gives me a headache just thinking about it.
