As the main object of the whole course in shop laboratory work is to teach the engineering students the principles of shop organization, the foundry and other departments of the shop laboratories were reorganized on a commercial basis. A number of standard products were adopted for regular manufacture, among which was a two-cylinder, eight horsepower gasoline engine. This engine was the first product developed and standardized. Orders are issued from the director's office for the erecting of a given number of engines and each department receives its individual order for the parts which it must manufacture. The method of instruction pursued in the departments of the shop laboratories necessary to carry out this plan can be explained.
