sections by inclined planes; developments of prisms, pyramids,
cylinders, and cones; intersections of polyedra and curved surfaces;
distances from a point to a point or a plane or a line; angles
between planes and lines. (One unit).

Shop-Work: Wood-Work, Forging and Machine-Work:—The candidate
must present valid certificates covering at least 240 hours of competent
instruction with adequate appliances in these topics. About 80
hours should be devoted to wood-work, 40 to forging, and 120 to machine-work.
He should be familiar with the usual shop processes,
the standard methods of work, and the properties of the ordinary
constructive materials. (One unit).

In these units, which may be offered by students of engineering
only, a practical examination in drawing and in shop-work is given to
validate the certificate of training.
