INTRODUCTION


             TRADE THEORY
             The manual of trade theory consists of theorectical information for the First Semester couse of the Turner Trade.
             The contents are sequenced accoring to the practical exercise contained in the manual on Trade practical.
             Attempt has been made to relate the theortical aspects with the skill covered in each exercise to the extent
             possible. This co-relation is maintained to help the trainees to develop the perceptional capabilities for
             performing the skills.

             The Trade Theory has to be taught and learnt along with the corresponding exercise contained in the manual
             on trade practical. The indicating about the corresponding practical exercise are given in every sheet of this
             manual.

             It will be preferable to teach/learn the trade theory connected to each exercise atleast one class before
             performing the related skills in the shop floor. The trade theory is to be treated as an integrated part of each
             exercise.

             The material is not the purpose of self learning and should be considered as supplementary to class room
             instruction.

             TRADE PRACTICAL

             The trade practical manual is intented to be used in workshop . It consists of a series of practical exercies to
             be completed by the trainees during the  First  Semester course  of the Turner trade supplemented and
             supported by instructions/ informations to assist in performing the exercises. These exercises are designed
             to ensure that all the skills in the  prescribed syllabus are covered.

             The manual is divided into three modules.  The distribution of time for the practical in the three modules are
             given below.

                        Module 1   Occupational Safety Importance of trade training      25 Hrs
                        Module 2   Basic Fitting                                      150 Hrs
                        Module 3   Turning                                            375 Hrs
                                   Total                                              550 Hrs


             The skill training in the computer lab is planned through a series of practical exercises centred  around some
             practical project. However, there are few instance where the individual exercise does not form a part of project.
             While developing the practical manual a sincere effort was made to prepare each exercise which will be easy
             to understand and carry out even by below average traninee. However the development team accept that there
             if a scope for further improvement.   NIMI, looks forward  to the suggestions from the experienced training faculty
             for improving the manual.
