Excerpt from Engineering Workshop Machines and Processes: A Handbook for the Use of Students and Other Taking the Workshop Training Recommended by the Institution of Civil Engineers

The student who, having said good-bye to school or college, finds himself for the first time free from pastors and masters, and at liberty to devote his whole time to the practical work which he has been for so long anxious to commence, is perhaps in a little danger Of forgetting that he is still only at the beginning of his training. In spite of the sessions which he has spent listening to lectures, in spite even of the hours spent in laboratory work, in spite of the fact that he really has (or may have) learnt a great deal about the scientific side of his future profession, he has in reality to start on a new alphabet when he makes a start on works or in shops. His previous training will have made it easy for him to learn the new alphabet, but all the same it remains an alphabet which has to be learnt. And the learning has to be done without the help of professors or teachers, and to a large extent without that of books.
