Vehicle Inspection and f4ainter.ance In his work with the fJatienal Academy of Sciences, i~r. Gockel ryas involved ~;~ith the evaluation of 1975/1977 r.ew vehicle controls to determine if these vehicles would meet the emission standards in actual use on the road. This included studies cf (1) durability of the ccn- trols, (2) inspection and maintenance systems required of the states by the Clean Air Act, and (3) the adequacy of the service industry. In 1970, h!r. Gockel formed the Clean Air F.esearch Company (CARGO) to pursue a special tune-up procedure (and the associated mechanic train- ing) as an approach to reducing and maintaining engines to lcm-emission levels. CARGO later successfully ccmpleted a research contract for the AR3 to evaluate this approach on 300 vehicies. 4.

His first work in this area (for the Technical Advisory Committee of the AR6) ~•~as presented to all of the members of the California Legislature in 1970.
