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.
