XVII. Shop Laboratories Organized to give instruction in the fundamental methods of manufacturing, including factory organization, operation, and management. The courses deal with methods of cost accounting as well as with the purely engineering features of manufacturing. With one exception (Texas) the states which have shown the largest percentage of growth in population are those in which manufacturing plays the most important part. About one-third of the people of the State are engaged in manufacturing. The Shop Laboratories consist of four divisions as noted below: L Machine Department—Demonstrations in: 1. Production of duplicate parts of modern production methods. 2. Inspection and testing of parts. 3. Operation of automatic, semi-automatic, and hand operated machinery. 4. Methods of routing, dispatching, and production control of a manufacturing plant. Forge Department—Demonstrations in: 1. Heat treatment and tempering of steel. 2. Case carbonizing and hardening of metals. 3. Welding by oxy-acetylene, by thermit and by open fire. 4. Forging by power and by hand. 5. Methods of shop production. Foundry Department—Demonstrations in: 1. Methods of controlling the production of standard parts. 2. Modern shop practices in molding and core making, 3. Pouring molten brass and aluminum. 4. Exhibits showing consecutive steps in process of making castings. Pattern Department—Demonstrations in: 1. Typical gas engine and miscellaneous patterns. 2. Shop methods of producing patterns. 3. Executive control methods for production of patterns. 4. Methods of making preliminary analysis and of planning work. II. III. IV.
