Description: Metalsmith 3c And 2c (NAVPERS 10133), 1946
PREFACE 
This book, the first ever provided especially for Navy Metalsmiths, is written as an aid in preparing for promotion to Metalsmith 3c and Metalsmith 2c. While it is directed primarily toward the men assigned to fighting ships, it is equally valuable to the men in shore billets.
Qualifications for Metalsmith 3c and 2c are listed at the back of this book. To meet some of these qualifications, you may need to use some of the basic navy training COURSES, particularly the three entitled Mathematics, Use of Blueprints, and Use of Tools. The General Training Course for Petty Officers Sc and Petty Officers 2c and the Bluejacket’s Manual will also help you in meeting some of the more general qualifications.
After a short explanation of your duties as a Metalsmith, this course gives you helpful information on sheet metal work, welding equipment, gas welding, arc welding, brazing, forging, piping work, and coppersmithing. Other chapters describe the properties, characteristics, uses, and heat treatment of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys. Special practice jobs are suggested for sheet metal work and welding. The last two chapters deal with firefighting and damage control.
As one of the Navy Training Courses, this book was prepared by the Training Courses Section of the Bureau of Naval Personnel.
