An undertaking to complete the three years' course, unless found unsuitable by the Principal must be given by each student on entry.
First Year Students.
SYLLABUS OF WORK,
Benchwork and use of fitter's tools, drawing, mensuration, geometry and the reading of simple engineer's drawings. Lectures and instruction on internal combus- tion engines and their application. Properties and uses of metal, etc. Storekeeping and general workshop routine.
Second Year Students.
Turning and machining. Advanced benchwork and fitting, Blacksmith and Tin- smith work. Stores accounts and record work. Practical electricity and wiring. Theory of Foundry work and Pattern making.
Third Year Students.
Generally speaking students are given the work which would ordinarily be dealt with by a large modern commercial repair garage. Where considered advisable they may be allowed to specialise for other trades for which they have been found suited-- Blacksmith, Tinner, Electrician, etc. As far as possible the third year course is so arranged as to suit each student's inclination or ability.
The benchwork will consist of exercises in chipping, filing, and scraping includ- ing the use and care of hand tools, cutting key ways and fitting keys, tapping and screwing, fitting of taper pins, sheet metal work, the use and manufacture of calipers, gauges, etc. marking off, brazing, remetalling, and fitting of bearings, etc., etc. In all these operations the importance of absolute accuracy will be insisted upon.

In the Blacksmith's Shop students wil be taught the properties of various metals and alloys, and will carry out simple bends, welds, joints, etc., and will be given instruc- tion in annealing, hardening, tempering, case hardening, etc.
The Machine Shop training will consist of practical lathe workshaping, grinding, screw cutting, machine drilling, surfacing, tool inaking, spare parts, etc.
In the Motor Mechanics Shop the theory, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles will be taught, together with the making and fitting simple spare parts, testing, care and vulcanizing of tyres, charging and repair of accumulators, and maintenance and repair of electrical equipment.
This
A machine drawing course will be given extending over the first two years. will include the use of drawing board and instruments, drawing to scale isometric pro- jections, sections, design of simple machine parts, reading working drawings, etc.
Mathematics required in elementary engineering work will be continued so that students can make any calculations required-take off quantities-find cubical con- tents, etc., and Geometry as far as necessary will also be taught.
Throughout the course strict attention is paid to absolute accuracy of working and calculation. Observance of correct workshop routine and time keeping, stores issuing and costing is insisted on.
A successful student after completing his three years' course should be capable of dismantling a car, making sketches of all simple parts to be renewed, choosing the correct material, making his own tools and machining, finishing and fitting the actual parts to be adjusted and make ready for the road, a student should also have a good working knowledge of the general organisation of a modern garage and its workings.
