( III ) M533731 HOW TO USE THE TRAINING MANUAL . The Training Manual consists of four essential parts , namely : 1 . The Index lists the unit operations and information topics and jobs into which the requirements for the vocation have been analyzed for purposes of instruction . 2 . Unit Operations contain simple , comprehensive , and logically arranged directions , illustrations and questions to guide the student in the rapid acquisition of the correct skills and habits essential to a trained workman . The questions are of such a nature that they can be answered by observation and a little experimenting when doing the work . 3 . Information Topics contain concise , clear and compact state ments of facts , together with the necessary illustrations and signifi cant questions . The questions stimulate the student to discover the relationship among the facts learned and ultimately the general principles involved . 4 . Jobs which show clearly and concisely a complete course of training in the vocation . For a systematic analysis of each job , it is convenient to use Job Assignment Sheets , which contain the following : ( a ) A concise statement of the job . ( 6 ) Brief specifications . ( c ) Drawing ( d ) Blank space for unit operations , selected by the student from index and listed in the order of use . ( e ) Blank space for list of tools and bill of material listed by student . ( f ) Significant questions with spaces after each for answers . ( To be written as the solutions present themselves to the student . ) In using the training manual the student should turn to the as signment sheet of the job that is to be done . The specifications should be read and the drawing studied until the work to be done is thoroughly understood . The method of performing the work should then be thought out and the titles of the unit operations that are believed essential for performing the job should be listed in the order of performance in ( iv ) the space provided on the Job Assignment Sheet . These unit opera tions , together with any reference in the information topics , should be read before the student commences the job . While reading he should write out a list of the tools that he believes essential to doing the work . When this list has been studied over and checked it should be written in the space provided on the Job Assignment Sheet . The drawing should be carefully studied and the sizes of the various pieces of wood listed in the space provided on the Job Assignment Sheet , together with the nails , screws , etc . , that are required . As the student becomes more experienced he should learn how to figure from the pieces of wood that are required the commercial sizes of lumber and number of each necessary for performing the job . The student is now prepared to consult with the instructor , who will approve of the work done or give the necessary instruction so that the various lists will be correct and understood prior to com mencing the job . The material will then be issued to the student with the special tools that are not contained in the tool chest . OCCUPATIONAL INDEX . UNIT OPERATIONS : Training Manual No . 10 . Carpenter Helper 1 .

Training Manual No . 10 , Carpenter Helper , teaches the basic tool skills in carpentry that at least 25 per cent of the soldiers of the Army should have . The duration of the course should be suffi cient to instruct the student not only in the handling and use of the hammer , saw , plane , brace and bit , screw driver , scraper , and sandpaper , but also in the acquisition of sufficient skill to be of service to his organization on practical work . This is the first step in training a master carpenter and furnishes a definite objective within the reach of practically all soldiers . At the end of the course a certificate of proficiency as Carpenter Helper is granted to all who have attained the necessary skill . Graduates who are susceptible of further training are eligible to take the course contained in Training Manual No . 11 , Basic Carpenter . These steps need not follow immediately after one another .
