SCENE IN LOCAL GARAGE. C6ming Generation of Mechanics rpHE present age is frquently described as a mechanical one and when one looks around it is impressive the extraordinary advance that has been made in the field of mechanics over the past quarter of a century. Wars are generally regarded as a curse; but there is no denying the fact they have done much to bring about a great development in the use of machinery—not for war—but for civilian purposes. This advance is to be seen everywhere—on land, sea and air. Today aeroplanes are common in their commercial work. ditional honing equipment puts a mirror finish on the cylinders. The garage assistant is working another comparatively recent installation—one of the very latest English lathes. On this lathe almost anything can be machined. But let’s get back to the rising generation and in these two local boys can be seen a couple of mechanics of the future. Note the absorbed look and attitude of the'respective boys.

Many passengers are carried and unbelieveable loads of general merchandise, not to mention cattle, horses and motor cars, are transported long distances. There have been considerable mechanical advances in sea craft, though here it has not been nearly as spectacular. On the land in civilian life, especially in the direction of farming and road construction, we see extrordinary use of tractors, graders, carry-alls, etc. Yes, it is truly a mechanical age and it can be expected that the development will continue, for the youth of the world today is throroughly imbued with the appeal of mechanics. A typical example of this is found in the associated illustration. This photograph was snapped in the Cambridge garage of Central Motors, and two local lads are. to be seen deeply interested in the operations of Mr D. Pugh and his assistant.' Mr Pugh, on the right, is operating one of the latest installations in his garage--that of a reboring machine. This plant will take cylinders from 2.2 to inches in diameter, while the ad-
