TRAINING IN THE ULTRASONIC DETECTION OF FLAWS

Special training courses have been instituted at Derby for British Railways staff in ultrasonic detection of flaws and arc welding of metals. The ultrasonic school consists of a three week course for operators and an appreciation course of four days for supervisory staff. Student operators spend 12 days on practical training and three days in lectures on acoustic principles. Audiovisual aids and experimental demonstrations are used during the instruction. The welding school runs appreciation courses lasting five days, which qualifies the students to inspect and accept welded fabrications for the British Railways Board.
