Dr. Edward if Koenig ol' Buffalo, New York, has since presented an eight- cylinder Stearns sleeve-valve motor to be used for demonstration purposes but also available as an additional source of power if needed. ' The installation of shaft hangers, shafting, and belting has occupied a group ol' l 3 boys during the early weeks of the present termg but already the facilities ofthe shop i l are being put to use on definite projects. One group ol' boys is installing an additional . . . . I set ol gears in a Ford truck assembly in order to make a larm tractor. The shop has already reached a point where it is dillicult to recall that only a I little over a year ago the building was a disused cow stable. lint it is expected that many boys in later classes will recall with gratitude the etlorts ol' the boys whose labors brought about the change and the generosity ol' a number of parents and friends whose gifts, aggregating several thousands ol' dollars, defrayed much ol' the cost of materials, skilled labor, and supervision. g Q, '1 ll I, I 1 1 ll ll l li , l l ' s l l I l 1 l I l u i A,if-- , 1 V Q f - 4 , f - 1 .4 .-Q. - X, - -, 4 I- 0 -I --, Y H .

Nineteen new windows were installed in the building to provide adequate lighting, the exterior was reshingled, and plans were drawn forthe heating plant. The boys also made floor plans for the efficient location and operation of the machines to be installed later. During the summer of 1938, skilled workmen were used to make such prepara- tions for the next stages as were beyond the skill of the boys. A boiler was installed adequate to heat not only the boys' machine shop but also all buildings in the group. foils, radiators, and connections were made and plumbing installed. Later the boys eompleted the heating connections and installed a hot water system. By the fall of 1938 all was in readiness for the installation of machinery. A small group of boys were busy during the fall term in dismantling an old LaSalle automobile. reconditioning the motor, and setting it on a permanent base in the shop to act as a power plant. Vompleted. the motor develops 85 horsepower, enough to meet all power demands. The first machinery to be installed included a small lathe contributed by John Newman of the Class of 1939 and a drill press contributed by Mr. Frederick H. Payne of the Deerfield Tap and Die Forporation. hir. Payne also contributed a set ol' screw plates which proved very useful in subsequent construction. Through the generosity of Mr. Philip NI. hlorgan of the Rlorgan Construction Vompany of lvorcester, the shop next received a Vincinnati No. 3 universal milling va .A I Q I 1: G . . . lo ' 4 .
