a prayer on her lips.

able to draw the detail, and marking
of a single beam. This was more diff
fieult on account of the range and
pivot lines. On a beam there are
three pivots; the load, fulcrum and
tip pivots placed on the beam in the
order named The load and tip piv-
OF are set on the pivot line while the
fulcrum pivot is set on the
range line. 1t is the knife
edge of the pivot that is set on
the line, being the top of the load and
tip pivots but on the bottom of the
fulcrum pivot. The range line drops
125 of an inch to the foot from the
pivot line. This allows for the bend
ing of the beam at the fulcrum pivot,
where the load is being weighed, and
so brings the pivots in line.

Detail Drafting

After | had been in the Pattern

and had had mechanical drawing
enough to understand the use of the
instruments and had had little tech
nical work, Clarence Blood and
were selected from the Vocational
School to enter the Detail Drafting
Office at the Fairbanks Morse Fac
tory.
My first drawing was of a pivot. l
had a blue print of the same to go
by, besides the pivot itself. This was
so l could use the dimensions on the
blue print to check the measurements
which l took.
After l had drawn the pivot, l
traced it on tracing cloth, size A, the
smallest size. 1t was then checked
by a craftsman who does that kind
of work and if there were any mis-
takes l corrected them.
After a few weeks l was drawing
the more complicated parts of scales.

had to depend upon my accuracy in
measuring and had no blue print to

RAYMOND BENNETT
Drafting

In the drafting room we draw the
different parts of the scales and we
have to know how to figure out the
exact dimensions of the objects. Thus
algebra helps us greatly in studying
the details.
Everyday we acquire more skill in
the use of the instruments as our
eyes and hands become trained. AS
our work improves, we, of course
have greater interest and acquire
confidence in ourselves so we are
ready to begin on tracings, which at
first seemed difficult.
The first thing assigned me was a
poise stem. The poise stem is piece
of S. & w. wire gauge stock, which
is threaded on one end with hook
on the other. The one I had was
nineteen and three-fourths inches in
length; had to break the stem when
| drew the detail so as to fit the re-
CURED tracing.
In drafting we have to be careful
about neatness because this one quail
ity insures our promotion. The trac-
ing must be neat and exact. The
tracing is a completed drawing re-
produced on tracing cloth. This cloth
is made of very fine linen, waxed and
glazed on one side. The glazed side is
placed next to the drawing, the cloth
is powdered to prevent the ink from
running and then the tracing is made.
There are five different sizes of trac-
ing cloth; a, b, c, d and e for the diff
ferent sizes of drawinos; the size of
the drawing depends on the size of
the object.
One lesson learned in our draw
ing is that when the boss or in
structor is explaining point we have
to pay strict attention or we Jose in
formation which we need later

neither did she, and if she'd had an
opportunity to pull more of that sort

Making Milling Cutters

Milling cutters are usually made of
carbon steel, or high speed steel. You
first turn them down on lathe to
the required size. You always have
to leave about ten thousandths of an
inch, which is ground off after the
cutter is hardened. After you have
the cutter turned down as you wish
to have it, you then have to set up
your milling machine.
To set up the milling machine for
your cutter you must first put on
the dividing head, with which you
may cut as many teeth as desired,
by turning a small handle. After that
is in place you put on your tail piece,
which holds the work firmly in place.
You then set your machine at the re-
CURED speed. If you are milling a
spiral cutter you have to look on a
chart and find out what gears are
used to make the spiral, and also at
what angle you have your table. If
you are making a plain cutter you
do not have to use any gears at the
end of the table, and you do not have
your table at an angle. You have
to learn the various kinds of cutters
used on the different kinds of work.
After you have your machine set up
to cut the teeth in the cutter. After
the teeth are cut the cutter is hard
dened and ground to the required
size.

go over to the core room to get them.
While he was gone | thought |
would show him what could do, so |

laid out the moldboard and placed
the pattern in it's proper place and
then put on the novel and riddled
some sand on the pattern.
I filled the novel with sand and
went around the inside of it with the
butt of my shovel. Next, | filed the
novel trimming full of sand and
tamped it and scraped it off the top
of the novel. Next, | put on the
bottom board, clamped it and rolled
it over and took off the mold board.
