Classes havebeen organized for the benefit of the members of the club who havenot received a technical education, to enable them to study elementaryelectrical theory as applied to the apparatus manufactured by theWestinghouse Company. At present there are two classes, one meet-ing every Tuesday and the other every Friday evening. There arealso ten sections which meet to discuss apparatus, shop methodsand technical subjects.
