50. Tables to be Cleared.-Before commencing the examination, the tables and desks must be cleared of all scraps of paper, or books that are not used in the ex- amination, and care should be taken that the candidates while in the examination room do not have in their possession any book or paper, except as specified in rules 53 and 54. A sheet of blotting paper will be issued to each candidate with the first examination paper, and it must be returned to the Examiner when the last paper is completed each day. The Examimer should be careful to see that the blotting paper has not been used by the candidate in solving his problems, or for conveying information to other candi- dates.
51. Drawing Instruments.-Drawing boards and T squares will be provided by the Government, but the applicants will have to bring with them any drawing instru- ments they may require.
52. Order of Examinations.-At the examinations for First and Second Class Ordinary Certificates, papers on Practical Mathematics, Drawing, and Engineering Know- ledge are given, and the candidates are finally questioned verbally on their Practical Knowledge.
Mathematics and Drawing are omitted in the case of examination for the endorse- ment of a Certificate for converse service in the same grade.
