conspicuous place at the station location designated in the permit.
(b) The person operating the station shall issue a certificate
of inspection and approval, upon an official form, to the owner of
a vehicle upon inspecting the vehicle and determining that its
equipment required under this article is in good condition and
proper adjustment, but otherwise no certificate shall be issued,
except one issued pursuant to section two of this article. When
required by the superintendent, a record and report shall be made
of every inspection and every certificate issued.
