REPAIR SHOP AND MACHINE SHOP
The equipment of the Repair Shop has been selected with a view to serving
as a nucleus of an instrument-making shop in addition to its general
departmental repairs function. The machine equipment installed for working
metals consists of a Rivett precision lathe, a LeBlond lathe, a milling machine
with gear-cutting attachment, a shaper, large and small drill presses, hack
saw, and grinding machines. All equipment is individually motor driven.
Forge and welding equipment, as well as the usual complement of bench and
hand tools are available.
The Machine Shop will be available for the work in courses in Engineering
Shop Practice, and is equipped with a representative line of machine
tools, most of which will be individually motor driven. Among the items
are lathes of various sizes and capacities, shapers, milling machines, a planer,
a cylindrical grinding machine, and a bandsaw, jointer and lathes for woodworking
practice.
