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, 2 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- 3 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 \ I Geomotry iitid Topogiupliical l)niwin m • ; 1 1 • 1 /*\
