26x40 inches is constructed, covering a wide range of machine parts. There are 334 formulas, empirical and rational, the use and derivation of which are explained. By means of a large number of practical examples, sufficient drill is obtained in using them to enable the student to make the calculations required when designing such parts of machines as screw threads, nuts and bolts, rivets and riveted joints, keys, connecting rod ends, belts, pulleys, stepped cones, shafts, end and neck journals, pivots, and bearings for rotating piecee. Problems relating to gearing are taken up, such as exact and approximate methods of laying out profiles of teeth, proportions of teeth for strength and durability; circular and diametral pitch; cast and cut gears; sizing of blanks; gear cutters; wooden teeth; spur, bevel, and worm gearing, and proportions of worm gearing for highest

efficiency. HAM. Fall, winter, and spring terms, half study. Mr. BURN-

Required: General Engineering Drawing 1, 2, 3, 4. 5. MECHANISM.—A study of the nature and equivalence of mechanisms. Determination of centrodes. Graphical diagrams of the paths, speeds, and accelerations of important points of familiar mechanisms. Laying out of cams. Analysis of difficult mechanisms. Determination of velocity ratios. Particular attention is paid to problems relating to motions of gearing, steam engine mechanisms, parallel motions of indicators, governors, link motions, valve gears, and indicator riggings.

Fall term, full study. Mr. WOOD.

Required: Math. 2, 4, 6; Mechanical Engineering 1, 2, 4. 6. STEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS.—A study of the details of modern engines and boilers and of the principles involved in their construction and operation. Text books used are : The

Steam Engine, Holmes, and A Treatise on Steam Boilers, WilsonFlather. Winter term, full study. Assistant Professor VANDERVOORT.

Required: Math. 2, 4, 6; Theoretical and Applied Mechanics 1. "7. THERMODYNAMICS.—The fundamental principles underlying the transformation of heat into work, more especially as exemplified in the steam engine, are carefully studied. Considerable attention is paid to the solution of numerous examples, such as will arise in steam, air, or gas engineering, as well as drill in the rapid and accurate use of standard steam tables. Fall term, full study. Professor BRECKENRIDGE.
