The visual aid program of the school utilizes make ups of various machine parts. In figure 5, the main drum kick, enlarged to scale, is explained to Carl Young and Jerry Lambeth. Instructor Dotson states this method of explaining the operation and function of the main drum kick can be done in one-fifth the time required on the machine and students under stand much better when shown one part at a time. Other scale models of parts are used to illustrate the various driving mechanisms of the machines. An opaque pro jector enables the instructor to enlarge greatly the image of an object or drawing and show it on a screen. A look at many knitting machines reveals screw slots with burrs, rounded and beveled slots in the screws and broken damaged screw heads coming from improper use of screwdrivers. Using the wrong size screw driver also damages the head of the screw. Instruc tion in proper care and use of screwdrivers includes study of the proper torque of a screwdriver, as illustrated in figure 6 by Carl Young, right, and Jerald Chamelin, left.
