H. Stoelting Vol. 3, No. 4 Fri., Nov. 19, 1937 Appreciate Our Heritage The students of today, who will he the men of tomorrow, are living in an age which is highly improved scientifically over yesterday. Surrounded hy all kinds of conveniences, they some- times forget that these benefits did not pop into existence. Seldom do they stop to realize that their ancestors had to slave, to fight criticism and failure, to make better present living conditions. The pioneer Inventors were men whose character and stamina were strong and resolved. Fail- ure, they did not fear. Trials and hardships were overcome be- fore an education was obtained. They were ambitious and con- quered great obstacles. As students of Henry Ford Trade School, we have a greater opportunity to acquire skills, and are in a good position to strengthen our more' and intel- lectual facilities. Are we go- ing to push aside the opportuni- ties because of a few obstacles that may stand in our way? Editor's Mail Dear Editor: Many seniors do not know their shop grades. Can it be arranged to give the seniors shop report cards? Report cards will be given to seniors in the future. Sewer Under Construction Exp1osion-proof lights—a safety measure--are used in the sewer under construction in front of the B-building. Ordinary light bulbs are made explosion-proof by surround- ing them with Pyrex glass. Con- nections between the bulb and the cable are airtight and wa- terproof. Inside the cable are three wires, one for ground and two for current. This removes all possibilities of fires, ex- plosions, and shocks caused by short circuits. The sewer is six feet in diameter, having a 16-inch wall and approximately one quarter of a mile in length. The canal slip is its outlet. Because the main is constructed between two gas lines carrying a pressure of 16 pounds a square inch, a strong structure is necessary to prevent the settling of the ground near these lines, which would otherwise allow the lines to sag and cause leaks. There- fore, the 3 rings of vitrified brick lining are encircled every 16 inches by a 5-inch I-beam. Heavy steel plates, the same as those used in railroad tunnel construction, are placed between the I-beams. This main is constructed to receive drain water from roofs and roads, which would otherwise find its way into screens and filters in the Mill Water Plant, and also to increase the outlet of waste water to 200,000 gal- lons a minute. aGaunExsffi swnH0D This week18 waa born in a sod house at Me Crook Nebraska in 1891 At Missouri High, where he was graduated in 1905, he ex- celled in base- ball, basketball and football. at- tending t h State Teachers College he was also a three-let- ter man.

®he (Eraflamatt PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OF HENRY FORD TRADE SCHOOL NOVEMBER 19, 1937 VOL. 5, NO. 4 Federal Men Visit School Representatives from the two United States Industrial Re- formatories visited Henry Ford Trade School last week. The eastern reformatory is in Chillicothe, Ohio; western, in Elreno, Oklahoma. Overcrowding, lack of clas- sification, and idleness, accord- ing to these men, are the detri- mental influences in reformato- ries. To help combat against idleness and to give inmates a training in the skills, Federal Authorities have introduced in- dustrial training. These visitors said they are endeavoring to have their inmates do what boys do in our school--make nothing that can not be used. They use the Elec- trical, Shop Theory, Auto Me- chanics, and Mechanical Drawing books that are published in Henry Ford Trade School. The inmates of these in- stitutions were sentenced for Federal misdemeanors. All are first offenders. Mueller Talks in Toledo William Mueller, Apprentice School instructor, talked before a group of high school and col- lege instructors of Northwestern Ohio at their recent teacher's session in Toledo. Mr. Mueller spoke to the theme How Practical Work of Ap- plied Mathematics Relates to In- dustry. He said Ohio schools are progressing toward appren- tice school training. School Gives to Fund The instructors of Henry Ford Trade School are almost as pure as Ivory Soap. Proof: Ivory soap is advertised to be 99.44$ pure and the number of instructors that contributed to the Detroit Community Fund equals 99.27$. In the recent drive stu- dents and Instructors opened their pockets to the appeal ’’Give Generously and contrib- uted $446.22, which is $171.70 more than last year. Four Get All-A Cards On the first report card marking, 164 boys qualified for the honor roll. Four of these received all A’s. They are Stanley Kaczmarek, W-B-l; Edward Piotrowski, M-A-l; Fred Mitchell, M-A-l; and William Innes, T-A-l. The cards were autographed by Supt. F. E. Searle and G. A. Yerex, person- nel director. Lost: One Beagle Dog Found: The Beagle Dog After successfully stalking pheasants, rabbits, and other small game, Fred Schiller, ap- prentice instructor, and his two companions had an anxious week. Their beagle hound, owned by a farmer, and valued at $50, pursued a rabbit into a near by wood and disappeared. After much fruitless calling, whis- tling, and shooting the worried hunters returned to the farm- house. The farmer said he would search for the dog the next day. However, this only partly re- assured the worried Nimrods. When they returned to the farm the next Saturday they learned that the farmer’s son had found the dog. He was in company of same Detroit hunters who had taken him to Detroit overnight, and returned to the same vicinity to see if anyone would be searching for the dog. Special Services to be Held Members of Morning Services received a hearty welcome at the Berkley Community Church, where they took charge of the Evening Services, Oct. 31. The group has now been in- vited to take charge of the Eve- ning Services of the Rev. Harold W. May’s Church, Sunday, Novem- ber 21, in Wayne, Michigan. The Rev. D. Martin, who will have charge of the Thanks- giving Services, is planning to bring in, as a guest speaker, a noted Evangelist. The services will be held at 7 a. m., Wednes- day, November 24, in the audito- rium. Musicale Planned for Ford Rotunda In the little theater of the Ford Rotunda, students of Henry Ford Trade School will pre- sent their second musicale even- ing, Wednesday, Dec. 22, at 7:30 p. m. The first musicale was held in the auditorium of the Lawrence Institute of Technology last June. This program will be spon- sored by F. S. Nicholson, direc- tor of the glee club and stu- dents quartet, and Keith Glass- ley, orchestra 'director. The program will feature yuletide carols and music. Tickets for the occasion will be distributed among stu- dents, parents, instructors, and friends without charge. The plan for distribution will be announced later. Orchestra practice is held every Monday evening at 7;30 at Robert Oakman School. The glee club and students quartet prac- tice from 3 to 4 p. m. each day during class week. Smith Loses Election Floyd M. Staith, instructor in machine construction depart- ment, was nosed out by 75 votes in the recent election at Claw- son Village for village presi- dent. Clawson, a village of over four thousand inhabitants, many of whom are employees of Ford Motor Co., is located ap- proximately three miles north of Royal Oak. Mr. Stallth received 285 votes out of 645 cast. Nesbit Thanks All Sympathetically, students and instructors of the school shop contributed $35 recently to purchase flowers for the mother of John Nesbit, senior, and to help defray expenses following the recent death of his father. Mr. Nesbit was killed in an automobile accident. Mrs. Nesbit was injured seriously. I want to thank all,” said John, for their kindness in ex- pressing their sympathies.”

xIDAY, NQVj£-'BKR 19, 1937 leed for Pied Piper Prompted Rat Stories The drive to rid the city f Detroit of rats, has made its itizens rat conscious. The ollowing stories resulted. V. F. Richards, classroom nstructor, caught rats in Texas ith a tub half-filled with ater. This was covered with orn stalks and a few ears of orn. Rats, attracted by the orn, fell through the stalks nto the tub. Unable to climb ut, they swam until they were rowned. Nick Credit and Bertram ollis, mill department, used a ox trap with an ear of corn as ait to catch the rodents. I'll bet I've caught a undred rats in these traps, aid Mr. Credit. Mr. Hollis aid he used this trap in the oods of New York for catching mall game. Robert E. Bell, classroom nstructor, boasts of receiving ubbish and pebbles in exchange or potatoes. This exchange was ade by the gentlemanly, trade at. This species of the ro- ents leaves a token behind for verything they take with them. Henry Wurm, belt man, re- alls a day when one of his aps snapped on the leg of a at. The rat started through a ire fence. The trap, however, ould not pass through. A cat as in the next yard, and here 8 the story, laconically. Cat ees rat. Rat fights cat. Re- ult--dead rat. nr e no eb n nr n? A. L. Hansen, Supt. of the -bldg., and L. S. Treese, Supt. f the glass plant, are former enry Ford Trade School instruc- ors. Clarence Strong, W-B-l, olds a trophy for marksmanship hich he received from Boy Scout roop 38. Angelo Galasso, M-E-2, hile attending Custer School, on the Junior championship in igh Jump. Bertram Hollis, head of hird floor mill department, was he subject of last week's Guess Who. THE CRAFTSMAN I Boring at its Best When a Job requiring ac- curate boring comes into the school shop from the gage or toolroom department of Ford Motor Co., it is sent to the Trade School toolroom mill de- partment. Here the Job is as- signed to Charles White, shift 2, or Kenneth Stevens, shift 3 The above picture was taken a few weeks ago while Gilbert Penner was operating the Sip boring machine. He is now an apprentice In N-711-E die room. These seniors operate the most accurate boring machine in Henry Ford Trade School, the Sip. Ford Motor Co. has thirteen Sip machines. To get the highest degree of accuracy these boys first drill the Job within .030 or .015 of size, then it is bored to .0005. In order that the ac- curacy of the Sip boring ma- chine may be even greater than that of Its carefully made lead screws, each screw is fitted with an automatic correcting de- vice. This device is checked every two years by a man from the Sip Co., who has tools that are checked each year by the Na- tional Bureau of Standards. The Sip, a native of Switz- erland, is used for boring holes in gages, tools, and dies that must be accurately spaced. Its bed is rigidly fixed for accura- cy. This machine has two inde- pendent 8pindies that are six inches apart. The main spindle for larger work has nine working speeds arranged in geometrical progression from 45 to 400 r.p.m The small or high speed spindle has nine speeds ranging from 212 to 1870. PAGE THREE Garbage is Salvaged Wa3te Is not waste. Some- times it is soap, oil, coke, etc. Ford Motor Co. salvages all of Dearborn's table scraps. The garbage disposal de- partment was established six years ago to carry out industri- al experiments. Garbage from the whole of Dearborn is gathered each day and made into things of practi- cal use. In addition four loads a day come from Detroit. This garbage is all refuse that comes from the kitchen. The garbage is stoked into large cookers and heated from seven to twelve hours. Twenty- five pounds pressure are put on each of the four cookers. By fermentation of garbage, butyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, acetone, and cracklings may be obtained. Dehydrated garbage is pressed to remove grease, from which oleic acid, sodium soap, soluble oil, tar, tar oil, soft soap, drawing compound, and spray booth wash may be produced, while benzol, ammonium sulfate, and coke are obtained from pressed cracklings. Twenty-four paddles, mounted on a cylindrical shaft, are in each cooker. These pad- dles stir the garbage while it is dehydrated. After this proc- ess the cracklings are dumped into a revolving screen which removes the cans and rags. The cans are utilized as scrap metal The cracklings are pressed into cakes and taken to coke ovens for dry distillation. Arthur Adams, '24, is a patent draftsman in General Mo- tors Corporation.
