Machine Joins Fair (Continued from page 1) World'8 Fair, it Joined the Ford Exhibits in Dallas and Miami. A few months ago it returned to the school, having been with the Ford Exhibit in Paris during 1937. The machine is now at the Chi- cago Automobile Show. Following this showing it will be crated and sent to the Golden Gate Exposition in California. In eight hours the machine is capable of gaging and sorting 48, 000 inserts. The allowance is ±.0005 on the diameter and 1.001 on the thickness. If the pieces are within limits they go straight through a chute and drop up on a steel plate. Cracked inserts, not bouncing as high as the others, miss the con- tainer and are automatically dis- charged .

FHIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1938 Alumni Reunion Is Largest Ever Held The largest alumni reunion ever staged by the Henry Ford Trade School was held Oct. 22. when the Elkanah Brill '17; Walter Fink '16 Supt. F. E. Searle (right) twenty-second anniversary of the school was celebrated by more than a thousand persons at an informal stag party in the Light Guard Ar- mory, Brush and Larned Streets. Two former faculty men, F. W. Edward8 and Colin C. Crawford, as- sisted Supt. F. E. Searle in plan- ning the party. G. A. Yerex, per- sonnel director, supervised the sale of tickets. The aim of the committee was to bring together as many of the ear- lier students as possible. Walter Fink and Robert Collins, two of the original students, enrolled Oct. 25, 1916, were present. All classes were represented. During the entire party alumni gathered in informal groups ex- A 1930-class ring, initialed R. B., was found at the stag party. Owner may get same from B. C. Brewen, Room 15. claiming, Well, look who's here. .. How've you been ... Haven't seen you since our last day in class ... What's your address? I want to ccme and see your family. On and on this went—hand shaking and well-wishing seemed to be end- less . Petty differences that may have existed went by the board. The de- sire to see old friends had been welled-up so long that Joy liter- ally bubbled over is a summary one alumnus gave of the party. Twice the audience arose from the banquet table--once to express appreciation to Henry Ford, found- er of the school, and again when Mr. Searle was called on to say a few words. The Little Ford German Band, school alumni, provided jnusi cal' entertainment. THE CRAFTSMAN D-Classes Hear Talks on Radium and Its Uses Thousands of alpha rays which seemed like vivid sparks, were seen under magnifying glasses, in total darkness in the auditorium, while R. D. Weaver, chemistry in- structor, proceeded to give his lecture on radium to all the D- clas8es during the week they were in class. Theoretically radium will lose only half of its fiery energy in 1680 years, explained Mr. Weaver. He also explained that radium is used for the treatment of unde- .sired growths of the body in vari- ous hospitals and in watch facto- ries for watch dials. Visit Revives Memories of Former Instructor Memories of his early days in Henry Ford Trade School were re- born again for a former instructor when he returned for a short visit on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Joseph M. King came to the Trade School in 1927, from Ford Motor Co., to become head of the Engi- neering Laboratory on the third floor. While in the Trade School, he invented a device to burn oil in carburetors. This device was very successful in Ford trucks and tractors but is now obsolete. One of the first airplanes in Detroit, was owned by William Scripps, owner of the Detroit News. Mr. King invented a 'fluid tractor' that would pump gases out of the cylinders to help the pistons pump faster. This was first tried on Mr. Scripps' plane in 1912. Mr. King was a passenger on this flight, and described it as breath-taking adventure while speeding through the air at 60 miles an hour. Mr. King was also foreign corres- pondent for the New York Journel during the World War THE OBSERVER A bouquet of roses, nay, gar- denias to the Instructors quartet for their recent improvement. Many members of the faculty re- ceived a scare from the radio broadcast of an H. G. Wells story on Sunday, Oct. 30. Classroom eavesdropping: He is a swell guy, but a hard marker. We notice that C. W. Westerman, cafeteria instructor, twirls his Yo-Yo each afternoon in the cafe- teria. Maybe he intends to enter a contest sometime? Trade School mysteries: Where do all the checks go when they disap- pear from the cribs??? PAGE THREE Hikers Visit Riverside and Cass Benton Park Defying all fears of supersti- tion, 13 ambitious hikers proved last Saturday morning that this supposedly unlucky number could not mar their plans of an enjoya- ble hike. Under the direction of 0. R. Rothbone. bookstore, the boys drove to Cass Benton Park. From this spot they hoofed it to North- ville where food supplies were pur- chased . Outside of Northville Earl Shut- tleworth and Doyle Dodd came upon a deserted hornets' nest which is now on display in the library. It was decided by the hikers that they would try to bring back something of interest from every trip. After eating lunch at Cass Ben- ton Park, the hikers started out for Nankin Mills, a distance of 12 miles. After hiking nine miles all but three members of the group got into the cars and rode the rest of the distance. On Saturday, Oct. 22, the hikers, under the leadership of Ted Bona- ventura, machine construction in- structor. hiked near Walled Lake. Each week the number of hikers has increased, but there is still roan for a few more boys. If you are interested in Joining attend the next meeting. Sunday, Nov. 6, if the weather is favorable, the hikers plan to visit a farm near Romeo. Good English as Necessary as Good Shop Practice Many Trade School boys do not know how to give a definition. They say: A tool holder is where the tool goes. Cyaniding is when a metal is hardened in a cyanide bath. These statements are wrong. A tool holder is not a where, and cyaniding is not a when. The boy who is satisfied with these definitions is not a clear, accurate, and effective thinker. Thus theabove definitions should be worded: A tool holder is a device used for holding cutting tools in contact with work being ma- chined. Cyaniding is a process where- by the surface of a piece of steel is hardened by means of a cyanide bath. You will be doing yourself and others a real service if you form the habit of giving definitions exactly, clearly, and completely. Drawing is speaking to the eye; talking is painting to the ear.

Lasku, Trade School graduate. Although a man in Cal- ifornia designed the boat; George made all his own patterns for the castings of the motor. He machined every part possible, mak- ing other parts by hand. The small one-inch bore, one and one-eighth inch stroke motor, which generates one-half h. p. at 9000 r. p. m., can move the trim craft at 40 miles an hour. With only a home work-shop lathe and a drill press to work with, George constructed the motor in approximately three weeks, but took only three days to hollow out the white pine hull. This is the first boat George has ever built. At present he is working on a car carburetor, trying to find a change that will increase mileage. Fair Boys Voice Praise for Opportunity Given In less than five months 10 of the 30 boys selected to represent Henry Ford Trade School at the World'8 Fair in New York, will pack their bags and be gone. According to E. Y. Peterson, shop superintendent, the boys were chosen because of their records and mechanical ability. He said, We want the boys to be able to answer any questions pertaining to their work and to the Trade School!1 When asked what he thought of the opportunity, Raymond White said, To be chosen to go to the World's Fair is a privilege.
