‘ MACHINE DEPARTMENT The immediate aim of the Machine Department is first, to impart the basic fundamentals of machine shop practice; second, to teach the nomenclature of machine tools, their use and value; and finally to shape or form metal to drawing dimensions. Along with these tangible purposes it is also necessary to help boys to develop thought processes necessary for job completion. Rules of safety are very important to these students, since machinery does not discriminate between steel and bone. Since the ultimate goal of these boys is to gain employment, they must also strive continually to turn out work that is of a standard acceptable by industry. As much work as possible is accepted from the general public, and the amount } is only limited by the time element involved and the ability of the students them- selves. One of the outstanding pieces of work made by this department may be seen by anyone passing the Springfield College Memorial Field House. It is the large stainless steel words over the front entrance which read, “MEMORIAL y FIELD HOUSE.” | Here are two articles made in Mr. Fasser’s machine shop -— a twist drill set block ‘and a straight shank wire drill block.
