BOB SPINK.
Bob attended woodhouse grammar school until he was 17, and had obtained his school certificate with a distinction in maths, since then he has worker for the English steel corporation.
For 18 months he worked as an apprentice engineer doing machine work and fitting. One year of that time was spent in the firm's training shop under trained instructors.
Then he was transferred into the drawing office. His work is concerned wholly with the reconstruction and repair of the steel melting furnaces and the plant. Whenever anything needs repairing, he has to inspect the damage and then make detailed drawings which are passed on to the fitters who make the parts.
All the time Bob has been working, he has been doing part-time study. He took, and passed, his national certif1cate in mechanical engineering in 1950. He has taken his higher national certificate this year, and will have his results by the time this is published. He is now about to do his 2 years national service, but will return to the some work eventually.
