19 3 THE FABRICATOR MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT ALL students, at some time or other, during their course at school, come in contact with some branch of the Mechanical department. Steam engineer- ing, elementary electricity, physics, mill engineering, drafting, and machine shop, all fall under the category of this department. As a part of the machine shop routine, the Popular Mechanics render first aid to the sick and needy machinery from the C. Y. P., Weaving, and Knitting departments. In this, the Mechanical department more than earns its salt . Two excellent drafting rooms, an electrical laboratory, a steam engineering laboratory, a lecture room, and splendidly equipped machine shop, enables the students to obtain a thorough knowledge of the course. New Bedford Textile School is indeed fortunate in having such a depart- ment, made possible by the tireless and efficient work of Mr. Crompton, head of the department, and his assistants, Mr. Bayreuther and Mr. Walton.
