TlNKERlNG MECHANICS.
How Many Otherwise Good Machinist
are Smiled EnreYer.

How Many Otherwise Good MaehiDists
are Spoiled Forever.
The inclination to tinker" a ma
chine, or to "ixn an engine or a pump,
has spoiled more otherwise good en-
gineers and machinists than lack of ex-
perience ever will. Some men have an
irresistible longing to get at machi-
merry with q monkey wrench and screw
driver, and trouble always results from
indulgence in this respect. No man
ever saw a competent, experienced
man tinker machine. If something
is wrong, or some adjustment is needed,
such an attendant is never in a hurry
to clap on wrench and give reckless
turn, regardless of results. No, ex-
perienced men do much different; one
of this kind will think before he acts.
He will study out just what wants
screwing up, what it wants it for, and
how much.
The above points determined, the
wrench is applied gently, is screwed to
a proper fit, and just the required part
of turn is given the bolt or nut
II good results do not follow, and any
engineer Nay be wrong in his estimate
of what was necessary, it is easy to un-
do the adjustment. The man knows
Just what he has done, and how he did
:.
when he found them. The "fy-away,"
nervous mechanics, who go at dis
abled machine regardless of eonse-
queuces, had better stop and think be-
fore they act. and then don't do it, for
that kind of experience Is the kind
that makes backwoods engineers, and
the "things" that let boilers explode
while in their care.-Boston Baiqet.
