The aluminum is put into large iron pots and heated by a gas fire. The pot used in the school foundry holds about 225 lbs. Owing to the relatively low strength and melting temperature of aluminum it is not a commercial practice to use pure aluminum for casting purposes, except in cases similar to that of cooking utensils where purity and freedom from cor- rosion are of more importance than strength alone. The addition of some hardener, such as copper or zinc, is necessary. The grade of aluminum now used In the school foundry is known as No. 12 com- mercial aluminum. The utmost purity of any metal added to aluminum is most essen- tial, especially so in the case of zinc which must be absolutely free from lead. The soundness of aluminum cast- ings depends largely on the temp- erature to which the charge is heat- ed and this should never exceed 1400 degrees F. The higher the temperature in the furnace the more unsound will be the casting. The higher temperature tends to form blowholes and the higher the tem- perature the greater becomes this tendency. Most of the common alu- minum alloys should be poured not hotter than 1290 degrees F. Should a charge become overheat- ed it is best to cast it into ingots or allow it to solidify in the crucible so as to permit the escape of ab- sorbed gases. Remelting to the cor- rect temperature will then give sat- isfactory results. Since aluminum melts at such a low temperature it is difficult to estimate its temperature by the ap- pearance of the melt. The use of a pyrometer is most essential for the best class of work and is invariably used in both large and small found- ries. Orchestra Plans In the first number of “The Ar- tisan” an article was published con cerning the Henry Ford Trade School Orchestra. It was told how the organization began its growth. Each week sees noticeable results in its progress. The orchestra is meeting three times a week for practice and with this strenuous program hopes soon to be able to give a concert. However, the or- chestra is still in need of certain instruments, namely, violins, reed instruments, flutes and brass (bass). With the addition of these the orchestra will be greatly strengthened. Mr. Johnson hopes to be able to give a program in a short time or at the first opportunity which pre- sents itself. Can you answer the following scientific queries ? 1. Why are Sunsets Red Some- times? 2. How is Alcohol Solidified? 3. How is Air Liquidified? For answers see Science and In- vention for November, 1926. On Monday, November 8, the Ex- ploration Club held its monthly meeting, at which time the election of officers was held. The members rewarded their present officers for their efficient service by reelecting Max Schnei- der, President, George Harris, Vice- president, A. Iauszewski, Treas- urer, and Alex Allie, Secretary. All elections were unanimous. Halloween Party (Continued from Page 1) Many games were played and stor- ies told, but the last and best event was the serving of the cider and doughnuts. At midnight the lights went out, a gong tolled the hour. Chains were heard rattling in the attic, and an illustrated ghost story was on. Soon the ghost appeared In the form of a grinning skull, which came floating through the darkness. The boys and girls went home in half frightened state of mind, but all had an enjoyable evening. MORE SCRAP FISH STORY Right after their marriage the gold fish took his bride for a trip around the globe. He Didn’t Noah Lot Mr. Shaffer: When Eve plucked the apple why didn’t Adam raise Cain? Mr. Carle: Simply because he wasn’t Abel. “I love to hear the Professor lec- ture on chemistry. He brings things home to me that I have never seen before.” “That’s nothing; so does the Stu- dents’ Laundry Agency.” Mr. Carl: “I take pleasure in giving you 80 per cent in mathe- matics.” Student: “Make it 100 per cent sir, and thoroughly enjoy yourself.” Mr. Overbey: “Kindly indicate some of the properties of metal.” Sleep: “Lead sinks, copper coils, gold rings, brass bowls.” CUT THIS OUT FOR THE NEXT GAME Hit Em Hard, Hit Em Low, Yea Team, Lets Go A Henry Ford Trade School Fight Henry Ford Trade School FIGHT (faster) Henry Ford Trade FIGHT FIGHT, FIGHT who fight we fight Henry Ford Trade Schol Fight, Fight, Fight.

November 12, 1926 Basketball Season Near, Crawford Made Coach With the approach of the basket- ball season. Trade School has issued a call for candidates for the varsity squad. A good coach has been found In Mr. Crawford, who has been helping Mr. Broker. At the Ford School gym. Mon- day, Nov. 8. 19 boys reported for the first practice of the season. This is not a good showing for a school of 1.600 boys. Mr. Crawford urges that all who have the desire to play basketball, whether with the varsitv or section, should report for practice this week. Only one last year's man is back this season and Coach Crawford says that no posi- tion on the team is definitely de- rided. Let's come out and build a real, live Artisan team! The Artisan SALVAGED SCRAP INSIDE DOPE (By Philosopher Al) It is reported that a sad looking Hindu has arrived in the United States to tell Americans how to be happy. We wonder who it was that said, “The more I see of man, the more I admire dogs.” One thing the world needs is bigger and better waist-baskets for sensational magazines. “Say, want to go swimming?” “Naw, I don't swim.” “Want to go bathing?” “Naw, I don't—aw shut up. The vocation of every man and woman is to serve others. (Tolstoi). Just about the time a person learns how to get the most out of life he finds that the most of it is gone. The real color of pure gold, metallurgists say, is a deep orange, not yellow. Ground into a fine powder gold becomes a ruby red. Bragging about what you have to do leaves only little time for ac- complishment. The fellow who is content with little usually gets less. The time has now arrived when you can start making faces at the ice man. Why stop at saying virtue is its own reward? Isn’t it true that everything is its own reward? The dictionary defines a “flapper” as being “a duck not yet able to fly.” Then why call the girl of to- day a flapper? Are her aspira- tions so low that she can waddle to her destination. One way to lose a good job is to feel you are too good for it. 1 Wonder Mrs. Day: I can’t find a single pin anywhere. Where do they all go (o? Mr. Day: It’s hard to tell, because they are pointid in one direction and headed in another. His 50% Pat was taking his first flight in an airplane. The pilot was faking him over New York city. When they were up about 3,000 feet, the plane suddenly went into a nose dive. ‘Ha, ha,” laughed the pilot, shout- ing to Pat. “I’ll bet fifty per cent of the people down there thought that we were falling.” “Sure,” admitted Pat, “and I’ll bet fifty per cent of the people up here thought so, too.” Swiss Movement , A man went into a clock store ind handed out the pendulum of a dock, which he wished to leave for epairs. The watchmaker asked him vhy he didn’t bring the whole clock. The clock is all right,” was the reply. “It is the pendulum that won’t go. As soon as I pulled that nit the rest went like the dickens.” Vacuum Mr. Hawkes: A vacuum is lighter than any gas known. Steyskal: Why don’t they fill dir- igibles with it, then? Not So Dangerous Hey, you two handle that gun- powder carefully.” Why?” they asked. “Don’t you know' that some of that stuff exploded last month and killed seven men?” “Well,” one of the two replied, “That can’t happen now; there are only two of us here.” U. R. 2 Ys Bill Grose: What is Na-2-0-7? Mr. Overbey: Never heard of it. Bill: Isn't it borax? Mr. Overbey: I thought you wrote borax Na-2-B-4-0-7. Bill: Well, that's what I said— Na-2 before 0-7. Clear Fitzgerald: Your answer is as clear as mud. Mr. Glassley: Well, that covers the ground, doesn't it? O That Coupe Mr. Blainey: Well, Mr. Edwards, you’ve got to paint your car red. Mr. Edwards: Who said so? Mr. B.: It’s the law . Mr. E. (very angry): What's the new idea now again? Mr. B. (smiling): Why, any old tin can that carries gasoline has to be painted red. A Unit of Measure Mr. Bratton: Now tell me how you could ascertain the height of the Woolworth building with a pocket barometer. Mr. Rivers: Lower it from the top with a string and measure the string. ------—---------- No Chance John O’Connell: Aren’t you afraid, Mr. Scott, that your theory will be misproved? Mr. Scott: How can it be, my boy, when no one understands it? Case Witnessed The A class of M section took a trip to the circuit court as part of their civics work, for the purpose of studying the procedure of the county court. A civil suit was in progress. The court was opened by the sheriff, who repeated the prescrib- ed words: “Hear ye! Here ye! Here ye all! The circuit court of Wayne County is now in session. A young man was sueing a pat- tern works for compensation for in- jury to his fingers. While in their employ the boy was only a minor, seventeen years old. He had cut his index, first, and second fingers on a band saw. During the time he was out of work because of his mangled fingers, he was paid nine dollars a week. At the end of three months the boy quit the pattern works, and signed a settlement for the money he received. After an examination of a number of witnesses, the court took a recess. The period for the stay of the class had now ended, so the class returned to the Trade School, in ignorance of the outcome of the case. Men's Wear GEORGE M.

Volume I Henry Ford Trade School, November 26, 1926 Number 4 Sanitation Dept. Added at T. S. Will Give Boys Increased Responsibility for School’s Care A new department has been in- troduced into the Trade School— Sanitation. The object of this de- partment is not, as has been com- monly supposed, to furnish a penalty for the boys, but to give them added responsibility in the maintenance of their school’s physical plant. It will operate, as does every other depart- ment, on the merit system. As a rule, work in the Sanitation department will follow work in the Car Parts department for new boys entering the Trade Scool. Then, after completing their sanitation work, they will advance into tool work. In former days a boy who start- ed “serving” a trade faced a much harder undertaking than a boy in similar position today. His tasks were varied and uncertain, and often included the following: carrying the boss’s lunch, cleaning machines, sweeping the floor, helping the blacksmith, and, in general, making himself useful as possible. In those days the boss seldom had time to give instruction in the main work, and these odd jobs were considered the proper thing for the boys. Contrast with this the conditions today for boys working in the (Continued on Page 4) — All Section Defeated by Varsity Reserves The All-Section team was de- feated by the Varsity Reserves on Ford Field, Thursday, November 18, the score being 6-0. The field was in no condition to play fast football, but, notwithstand- ing, both teams battled hard throughout the game, and braved the mud baths, which none escaped. Bera’s remarkable kicking offered the best offensive weapon of the green and white, one punt netting 40 yards, and rolling 30 more. The All-Section backs gained good ground around the Reserves’ ends,, Lbut could not get through the sec- ondary defense. Pope made lone Cartoonist Contest This contest is to promote school spirit (which is making a more spectacular appearance every week) among the Artisans and to bring out talents of originality as well as that of a humorous nature and to encourage an interesting study on the part of the contestants. The cartoons may represent ac- tual or fictitious happenings in the shop, class room, on the field or any social gatherings of the Artisans. Of course, there is no rule regard- ing the exclusion of instructors in these cartoons. (Continued on Page 5) Metal Analysis In addition to the regular analy- sis of cast iron heats from the Trade School Foundry carried on by the Metallurgical Laboratory, the work of brass bronze and aluminum analysis has been as- sumed. Samples from each pour in the different foundries are sent to the laboratory for an analysis, and a report on the same is sent to the foundry as a guide and check on the castings made. A Special Feature introduced in connection with the Analysis of Brasses and Bronze is the separa- tion of Copper and Lead in the al- loy by the Electrolytic Method. This particular method employs the Solonoid and Electrolyzing Device. In the separation by this method the solution containing the metals to be separated is kept in motion I by the counteraction of magnetic flux passing from the Solonoid with I the current running between the electrodes. This avoids the necessity of a motor to rotate one of the elect- rodes and the attendant troubles of. a complicated apparatus in which a motor circuit is maintained, say- ing nothing of the much greater cost of the mechanical method of agitation. The point of importance in all this is that the better class of boys can carry on this work success- fully under the supervision and di- rection of an instructor—and there- by give a commercial as well as an educational value to this depart- ment of Chemistry. Wil liamston Overwhelmed by Artisan Grid Warriors Last Home Game an Easy Victory for Blue and White. Stein Makes Spectacular Sixty Yard Run for First of Six Touchdowns The Varsity demonstrated their football ability to a home crowd on the last home game of the season at Ford Field, Saturday, November 13, defeating the Williamston eleven 42-0. Martin, of Williams- ton, played a fighting game but his team mates could not offset the plunging of the Blue and White’s backs and steady playing of the line. Captain Grose won the toss and chose to kick. Marchand kicked to Linn, who was downed on the 28 yard line. Williamston fumbled but recovered without gain. Shcp- erd was stopped at tackle. Linn fumbled but recovered, losing 5 yards. Martin kicked to T. S. 40 yard line. On the first scrimmage Stein, behind fine interference, broke loose for 60 yards and touch- down. Marchand drop-kicked extra point. T. S. 7, Williamston 0. Marchand kicked, Gubrcy was tackled on Williamston’s 40 yard line. A lateral pass, Kitchen to Sheperd, gained 2 yards. A pass was incomplete on third down. Martin made 6 yards through the I line. Martin kicked to Perham, who was pounced upon at T. S. 40 yard line. Nagel was stopped off tackle. Stein made 1 yard on an end run. Balsley made 4 yards through guard. Nagel punted, the oval rolling out of bounds at Wil- liamston’s 22 yard line. A lateral pass, Kitchen to Martin, resulted in a fumble, T. S. recovering on Williamston’s 15 yard line. Nagel slashed offtackle for 6 yards. Stein made 2 yards off opposite tackle. Balsley made it first down on Wil- liamston’s 5 yard line. Nagel went 1 yard off-tackle. Stein circled end for second touchdown. Marchand kicked goal again. T. S. 14, Wil- liamston 0. Gubrey received kickoff on 25 yard mark and ran it back 10 yards. Linn fumbled. Hill recovered after 5 yard loss for Williamston. An incomplcted pass made it third down as the quarter ended. T. S. 14, Williamston 0. Second Quarter Walck and Pope replace Stein and Nagel. Martin kicked and Walek was downed on Williamston’s 35 yard line. Balsley made 5 yards through the line. Pope toted the oval for 2 more at tackle. Balsley made first down on Williamston’s 22 yard line. Pope circled end for 5 yards. A criss-cross, Walek to Pope, gained 12 yards. Balsley plunged the run- ning distance for a touchdown. Marchand kicked extra point. T. S. 21, Williamston 0. Williamston ball oh 40 yard line pass made fourth down. Martin’s made 2 yards at guard, 2 yards more at center. An incomplcted (Continued on Page 4) Orchestra Appears in First Public Program Four weeks ago an article ap- peared in the Artisan concerning the Henry Ford Trade School Or- chestra. The orchestra was then being organized under the leader- ship of Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bal- lard. This orchestra is now fully or- ganized and was able to give its first entertainment Friday, Novem- ber 12. The first selection was “The Naval Cadets.” After that Mr. Roberts sang a song entitled “The Horn,” accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Glassley. The or- chestra then played our favorite song, namely, “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” All the boys in the audience joined in singing the chorus. Earl Tank rendered a very fine selection on the piano. The orchestra then played its last selec- tion on the program. The program was repeated Fri- day. November 19, for the benefit of W section.
