Students Become Mechanics, Apprentices The Virginia Mechanics Institute consisted of three divisions: the mechanics shop, the machine shop, and the electricity department. In the me- chanics division, the student learned the complete assembly of the automobile; the engine, gear as- sembly and the chassis. With the aid of many test- ing apparatuses, including a new distributor tester, the V.M.|. student virtually became an expert in the repairing of carburetors, manifolds, tlywheels, pistons, differentials, etc. In the machine shop, sim- ilar to the industrial arts shop here, the student learned to create manually with lathes, electric saws and welders.
