Abstract
The awards gained by the United Kingdom Team at the 1962 International Apprentice Competition are now known. The results of the Competition, held at the Labour University, Gijon, Spain, between the 1st and the 11th September, show an improvement over those of last year. The team consisted of 31 members then, as against this year's 28, and two gold, seven silver and three bronze medals were won.

Abstract
The section of laboratory work which involves vibrations is often confined to simple spring‐mass systems, the vibrations being counted and timed by stopwatch. This must leave many questions in the student's mind concerning the timing and analysis of frequencies of higher orders.

Abstract
Experiments in Production Engineering at the higher levels should not be confined to machine operations and processes. They should be designed to show the student how machine and tool design is related to speed and accuracy of metal working. The experiments described below are used to provide the data which is the basis for subsequent detailed analysis of the process.

Abstract
ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE LIBRARIES. Few special colleges are so ‘library conscious’ as those training the architect. This, of course, is partly due to the nature of the profession: the syllabus of training allows much greater individuality in approach than is possible to the student taking a degree in the sciences or engineering. Because of this the student makes a greater use of the periodical literature and general reading on his subjects. For this reason, it is important for architectural schools to have well‐equipped libraries. This is recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects who assist the schools in many ways such as the preparation of a library bulletin, many specialist bibliographies and a recommended list of English and foreign periodicals.

Abstract
Although textiles is one of the oldest crafts and goes back to prehistory—it is believed that weaving grew up in the neolithic or later stone age—our modern civilization is producing such rapid and numerous developments in so many aspects of the subject that the individual is hard put to keep up with only a fraction of them.

Abstract
IN July we sugggested that one outcome of the formation of a European Work Study organisation could be a standard certificate of competence, recognised by all the participating countries. That opinion is confirmed after reading carefully through the various memoranda compiled for the conference by representatives. They showed a wide variance in training methods and in the subjects regarded as important.
