Arthur Hill Technical High School - Technician Yearbook (Saginaw, MI)

Page 40 text:

The machine shop has been in operation ever since the school was built. Louis Haenlein, the present teacher, replaced Anson Spooner who retired in 1950. The shop teacher instructs the students in the working knowledge of common machine shop tools. The students learn how to run these machines rather than make proiects that are done in an industrial arts class. ln operating these ma- chines the boys perform a certain amount of production work such as machining the castings that are produced by the foundry. It is here that a knowledge of blueprint reading and layout work becomes usable as the parts are machined to specifications. To be specific, some of the following operations are included in the instruction: lathe work, gear cutting, taper boring, knurling, shaping, millwork, cutter grinding, internal and external grinding, and thread cutting, In fact, a student works on all common machines and performs the operations for which they are intended. Some of the advanced students make tools for their own machinist's tool boxes. After leaving Arthur Hill Tech a student enters college or a iob shop where he practices the fundamentals he has learned.
