MoGILL UNIVERSITY

FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

FOR

SESSION 1891-92.

MoGILL UNIVERSITY.

FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIEJSTOE.

.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Faculty has much pleasure in announcing that the new
Applied Science Buildings will be completed and ready for occu-
pation in September next.

Five distinct Departments have been established in the Faculty
in which courses of instruction are especially arranged for
students entering the professions of

(a). Civil Engineering and Surveying,
(b). Mining Engineering,
(c). Mechanical Engineering,
(d). Electrical Engineering,
(e). Practical Chemistry.

Students who pass the Matriculation Examination (see Univer-
sity calendar) are admitted into anyone of the courses they may
select, and will i-eceive special instruction in such coux'se through-
out the four years over which it extends.

The courses are designed to afford a thorough training both of
a theoretical and a practical character.

The work in the class-room is intended to give the student a
general training, as well as to inculcate those principles upon
which he must base his professional career. Full courses of
lectures are given in Mathematics, Chemistry, Surveying,
Physics, Mechanism, Zoology, Geology, Applied Mechanics,

Thermo-dynamics, Hydraulics, Geodesy, Mineralogy, Metallurgy,
Assaying, Electrical Engineering, Mining, and also in Modern
Languages.

Students are not expected to attend the lectures in all of these
subjects, but only those which have special bearing upon the pro-
fession which the student intends to pursue, and those which are
considered to be of the greatest educational value.

A sound education in general literature and modern languages
is considered most important, and the student should bear in
mind that many valuable technical works on engineering and
chemistry are only available to the student of French and
German. The Faculty would strongly recommend intending
candidates to take at least two years of an Arts course before
entering upon their professional studies. They would never
regret the time so spent. Generally speaking, too, students
in the Arts Faculty have no class-work in the afternoons, and
they might therefore take up the shop-work in the Applied
Science Faculty, so that when they enter the latter Faculty as
undergraduates they would have more time to spend upon
advanced work in their theoretical studies or in the laboratories.

The practical part of the work is provided for in the work-
shops, laboratories, and as further described in the remarks on
the several Departments.

LABORATOEIES, WORKSHOPS, &o.

Laboratories.— In the McDonald Technical Building there
are ten laboratories, viz. : —

Nos. land II. Testing Laboratories.— The equipment of these includes
a 100-ton Wicksteed and a 75-ton Emery machine for testing the tensile,
compressive and transverse strength of materials. For the former, an
addition has been specially designed by means of which the transverse
strength of members up to 25 feet in length, can be determined. The
Emery machine is constructed and graduated with such accuracy as to
render possible delicate experiments on elasticity. The laboratories are
also provided with an autographic torsion machine for testing the torsio-

nal strength of materials, machines for carrying out experimentfl similar
to those of Wohler. Spangenburg, etc., for determining the effect of
repeated stresses, oil testers, steam extensomoters, etc., and a very com-
plete supply of gauges, micrometers, and other apparatus for exact
measnremente. The Laboratory of Mechanics is fully equipped with a
variety of apparatus, such as chronographs for measuring small intervals
of time, pendulums for determining the av;celeration of gravity and oth^r
dynamical constants, machines (Attwood's and Morin's) for deducing the
laws of falling bodies, etc. Frequent practical questions are given to test
the thorough character of tCle student's mathematical knowledge.

No. III. An Hydraviic Laboratory.— Here the student will study prac-
tically the flow of water through orifices of various forms and sizes, sub-
merged openings, over weirs, thiough pipes, mouth pieces, etc For this
purpose there are suitably designed tanks, the largest having a height
of 30 feet and a section of 25 square feet, pressure gauges of different
kinds, and other apparatus. The studentswill also themselves carry
out tests upon hydraulic motors, e.g., upon the different classes of turbines,
pumps, the Knight and other wheels, etc. The facilities for conducting
such experiments are unusually great, as from the city water supply there
is an available head of over 200 feet.

No. IV. A Cement Testing Laboratory.— The importance of tests of
the strength of mortars and cements is very great, and the equipment of
the laboratory for the purpose is on a most complete plan, including a
one-ton dead weight tester, a one-ton spring tester (Faija), steaming appa-
ratus, special weighing hopper, spring balance, gun metal, moulds, etc.
The laboratory is also fitted with cisterns in which the briquettes may
be submerged for any required time.

No8. V. and VI. TIw.rmodynamic Laboratories.— The Thermodynamic
Laboratory is furnished with an experimental steam engine of 80 I.H.P.,
specially designed for the investigation of the behaviour of steam under
all possible conditions ; there are four cylinders which can be connected
so as to allow of single, compound, triple or quadruple expansion, con-
densing or non-condensing, with or without jackets. The measurements
of heat are made by means of Urge tanks, which receive the condensing
water and the condensed Hteam. There are two hydraulic absorption
brakes for measuring the mechanical power developed, and an alterna-
tive friction brake for the same purpose. The laboratory is further
equipped with a variety of apparatus for the investigation and illustra-
tion of the general principles of thermodynamics, including hot air and
other engines, indicators, pyrometers, pressure gauges, etc.

V '

^on. I'll, and Vlll. Kkctriail LuUonitorivt. — The e(]nipnient of the
Electrical Engineering Laboratory includes a high speed steam engine
coupled direct to a dynamo for incandescent lighting; a slow speed
steam engine for driving the experimental dynamos. These latter have
been chosen to represent the best types now in general use, both of high
tension and low tension direct current dynamos — with various methods
of winding, and also of alternating current dynamos of low tension, and
of high tension for use with transformers.

Arrangements have been made for measuring the mechanical power
supplied to the dynamos anc given out by the electro motors, of which
there are several types ; these arrangements comprise various forms of
belt, rope and transmission dynamometers, with a very perfect form of
hydraulic absorption dynamometer,, with which the accuracy of the
others can be checked by readings in absoluti measure ; the well known
form of cradle dynamometer, for dynamo testing, of course, flnds a
place here, and special facilities are provided for varying the speed of the
dynamos within any required limits.

The instruments for making the electrical measurements have been
selected with much care; these instruments will enable measurements of
current resistance, and difference of potential to be made with great ac-
curacy, not only in the detached laboratories but in the dynamo room
when the machinery is running; in separate rooms there are standard
instruments of extreme precision with which the correctness of tiie work-
ihg instruments can be readily checked. These include amongst others,
two of Sir William Thomson's beautiful electric balances. There are also
a variety of instruments for special purposes connected with electrical
measurements, such as instruments for determining coefficients of self and
mutual induction, etc;.

No. IX. Meirologi<)al Lahoratori/.— In this laboratory will be placed a
Roger's comparator for the investigationof standards of length, and linear
and angular dividing; engines for the graduation of standards of length
ahd of angular instruments. The laboratory will also contam absolute
standards of length up to one hundred feet for standardizing chains,
tapes, rods, etc., pendulums and other apparatus for the determination of
gravity, etc.

Drawing. — One large drawing room occupying the whole of
the fourth storey of the Technical Building, is lighted from the
roof, and covers an area of nearly 9,000 square feet. The course
in drawing includes Freehand and Model Drawing, Descriptive

I
I

Geomotry iitid Topogiupliical l)niwin<r, the preparation of the
(IrawingH of partw of machines and other Htructures, and Hnally
complete machine and structural designs.

Museum. — In addition to the Peter Kodpath museum with its
splendid collections of minerals, fossils, etc., students will have
the UKe of a Technical Museum, occupying the whole of the third
story of the .VacDonald Building. Amongst other apparatus
the museum will contain the Reuleaux collection of kinematic
models, presented by W. C. MacDonald, Hs(|., and pronounced by
Professor Reuleaux to be the finest and most complete collection
in America.

Workshops. -The workshops, erected on the Thomas Work-
man endowment, are now completed, and are fully equipped with
machinery of the best and most modern type. Students will be
specially trained in the several shops, under the direct superin-
tendence of the Professor of Mechanical Engineering, aided by
skilled mechanics, and will obtain a practical knowledge of the
use of tools in carpentry, turning, pattern-making, smith-work,
moulding and casting, and in machine tool-work.

Note. — A very tine building, fully equipped with laboratories
and apparatus for the study of Experimental Physics, is now m
course of erection on the University grounds, and will be avail-
able for the use of students in the Faculties of Arts and Applied
Science, ,

DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION.

(a). Civil Engineering and Surveying,— Full details of the
courses of lectures and practical work in this department, will be
found in the Faculty Announcement in the University Calendar.

Field Enqineeking and Surveying.— Each student is expected
to take part in the following : —

1- A chain survey. 2. A contour survey based on 1. 3. Compass sur-
veys with and without local attraction 4, A plane-table survey. 5. The
preliminary surveys and location of a line of road, the work being after-

wards set out for .'ons^ruction. 6. Thehydrograpliicsurveyof a nhannel In
the St. Lawrence river. 7. A triangulp.tioi. survey from one I ase, check-
ing o;i a second base. 8. The precise meaHureraer*. of fwo base Hnefl. 9.
Differences of level by spirit level, triangulation and baro'neter. 10.
Determinations of latitude and the meridian. 11. Determinations of time
by a portable astronomical transit, by sextant, and by the solar attach-
ment. 12. Exercises on the comparison of clrxks anii chronometers. 13.
Practice in the use of fluid magnetic instruments.

Students engaged in these surveys are eypoctod to keep com-
plete notes, and from them to prepare all plans and oections re-
quired. The noo«88ary instruction in topography and mapping
is given in the drawing room.

The largo drawing rooms v ) Htted up with suitable mountings
for the various instruments, in order to permit of their use and
investigation during the winter months. The present equipment
of surx'oying instruments include^i :—

Six truv\8its and transit-theodolites.
Seven le /els.
Four sexi'ants.
Two plane tables.

Three surveyor's and three priamatic compasses.
Three current meters.

A 300 foot steel tape arranged for basework.

Hand levels, chains, rods, tapes, barometerd, pedometers and other
minor instriiroents.

(b). Mining Engineering.— In this Department the work
includes such portions of the Civil and Mechanical Engineer-
ing course as are essential to the education of a mining
engineer. A thorough training is provided for in geology and
mineralogy, and, in order to give a practical character to the
work, frequent geological excursions are made and numerous
minerals and rocks are determined and analyzed in the laboratory.
In the lectures ppecial attention is devoted to the economic aspects
of geology.

Work in the chemical laboratory is begun in the first year and
continued throughout the course, mainly consisting in the fourth
year of assaying by the dry, wet and electrolytic methods. In
the third year a special course of lectures on mining is given.
It is illustrated by diagrams and models, and includes the discus-

eion of blasting quarrying, hydraulic mining, boring ; special
methods of exploitation employed in the working of metalli-
ferous deposits and ccal seams; ventilation of mines, pumping,
etc. In the fourth year, the lectures on metallurgy are illuHtrated
oy diagrams, models and collections of ores and metallur"ical
productr

As yet there is no special mining laboratory in which practi-
cal operations in ore-dr .sing, etc., might bo carried on, but it is
hoped that this deficiency will be supplied in the near future.
Hitherto the lectures on mining and metallurgy havo devolved
upon the Professor of Chemistry, but it is intended that before
the beginr.'ng of another session, these subjects will be repre-
aented by a special lecturer or professor.

(c). Mechanical Enqineerino.— Full details of the courses of
lecturea and practical work in this Department, will be found in
the Faculty Announcemont in the University Calendar.

(d). Electrical ENaiNEEaiNo.— This Department is now for
the first time placed upon a firm basis, Mr. W. C. McDonald
having generously endowed the cuair of Electrical Engineering.
Complete information as to the courses of lectures and the prac-
tical work will be given in the University Jnlendar.

(e). Practical Chemistry.— The work in this Department
is intended to prepare students to act as analytical chemists
and assayers, or as teachers of the science. The trainino-
which it affords would also be of the greatest benefit to young
men entering various departments of commercial life. The
purely chemical pai t of the course includes lectures and labora-
tory work, these together occupying a large proportion of the
student's time.

During the first year the laboratory work comprises the con-
struction and use of ordinary apparatus and the performance of a
series of experiments which are designed to cultivate the stu-
dent's powers of observation and deduction. Qualitative analysis
is begun during the latter part of the first year and continued
during most of the second, when quantitative work is taken up
and carried on during the remainder of the course.

Special attention is generally devoted to mineral analysis and
the preparation of inorganic compounds, but in the fourth year
considerable latitude is allowed to students in the choice of sub-
jects, and organic analysis and the preparation of organic com-
pounds may, if desired, be taken up. The analysis of iron and
steel will hereafter receive special attention, and also the applica-
tion of electrolytic methods to the estimation of copper, nickel,
&c.

The chemical laboratories are three in number, one for stu-
dents of the first year, one for students of the second and third
years, in which it has been found necessary to carry on both
qualitative and quantitative work, and one which is reserved fur
students of the fourth year and fo'- special students who may wish
to carry on original investigations. The fittings of this last room
were the gift of Mr. W. C. McDonald and are quite equal to those
found in the best laboratories abroad. Besides the above there is
also a special room in the basement which is fitted up for fire
assaying.

The laboratories are supplied with four balances by Becker &
Sons, one Bunge and a bullion-balance by Trx^mner. There is
also a Laurent polariscope, a spectroscope by JJubosque,
gas combustion and melting fui-naces, apparatus for electrolytic
work, &c., &c. Distilled water is obtained by means of a special
boiler placed in the basement, which also supplies the steam for
drying ovens, steam-baths and drying chamber in the upper
laboratories.

Fees.— The full fees for each course are $100 per annum.

Further information may be obtained on application io the
Dean of the Faculty, oi- to Mr, J. W. Brakenridge, Acting Sec-
retary of the College.
