Shop-Work 2. Required for M. E. and E. E. [Instructors; Afternoon
Hours.]
The Fall Term is given to the Machine Shop, the Winter Term
to the Foundry. The preliminary exercises with hand tools for chipping,
filing, and scraping are followed by careful instruction as to
the construction of the engine lathe and practice in its use. The
other machine tools of fundamental importance are then studied in
the same way and practical exercises are given on the shaper, planer,
drill press, milling machine, and grinding machine. In the Foundry
the methods of tempering the sand, making moulds of green sand
and of loam, and moulding and baking cores are then taught. Finally,
each squad is practised in the management of the cupola and in taking
off a heat.
