if ecflfica M k Vw .gnaiaf aim, 'M it On this page we are going to tell you about the Electrical Course. Here, we learn to work with something that can't be seen, heard, or even really felt if used and treated respect- fully. We know that it exists, for we study and have learned how to use it. We have sometimes accidentally mishandled it, and have learned even from our mistakes. Yet we still can't tell you what it is, although if you were to come to work with us in our shop you would learn about it as we have. In this build- ing alone we do jobs of all kinds using this un- known power, and some day, perhaps, we can take some of the mystery out of the mys- terious. We can tell you what it does and what we can make it do. It lights your homes with the touch of a switch. It heats your houses and cooks your food. When you want to travel it carries you as a magic carpet would. Its power makes it possible to bring you the benefits of radio and television. Using it you can play at being magicians, for we can make doors and windows open and close automatically using hidden relays and switches. In the morning it wakes you up, starts your coffee and burns the toast. At night the proprietor leaves his shop secure in the knowledge that an electri- cal watchdog lies waiting there. This was our shop choice when we came to Chelsea. VVe never had to ask ourselves the reason, It might have been because of the in- structors, but it wasnit entirely that. It might have been for the job opportunities, but it wasn't entirely that either. NVe were proud to learn a trade that does so much for so many. NVn.i.1AM Sc:runMEn

Itls difficult to say what a machinist does. He may make the machine that makes a product. He may operate the machine that makes the product. He may make the die that stamps out the parts for a thousand machines and the only time he may see the product is when he buys it in a store for his own use. A good machinist must be prepared to make almost anything that can be made of metal. Here, in Chelsea, We specialized in bench work because our skill with our hands will determine our future. Of course, machines are impor- tant too, and we learned to use them all. Whatever a good machinist needs to be able to do we have tried to learn it here and we feel we have. HELMUTH SCHNEIDER There is a deafening roar, the sound of gears meshing, then the rhythmic purr of a power packed engine and another Chelsea rebuilt makes its way down the ramp and into the street, ready to roll. Yes, in the Automotive Shop we have customers-some might call them pa- tients, sick engines brought here by anxi- ous owners for treatment by Doctor Weisern and his crew of student internes. Although we donit wear dazzling White medical uniforms We do perform rel- atively the same operations, such as di- agnosis, prescription, and treatment leading to eventual cure. With many of these cures effected through our own patience and know-howf' We are leav- ing Chelsea with a solid background for becoming practicing M.Ds.v-Doctors of Motors.
