Version: 25
Page: 5,6 and 15
Comment: The section discussing the thrust bearing clearance calculations has some errors specifically in table 5 and the preceding paragraph. The change required on the left and right bearings to adjust the nozzle clearance would change the clearance in the wrong direction. The right bearing should have shims added and the left should have shims removed. The final shim thickness amounts would change accordingly. The second question on page 15 also needs the answer revised as the answer in the back indicates a move that would not correct the nozzle clearance correctly.

Comment: In the second paragraph the text states that the oil is "pulled from the reservoir". That is not correct. Pressure on top of the oil (atmospheric or other pressure) pushes the oil into the pump inlet.

Comment: The text for "Drip Feed" is actually for "Constant Level" oilers. The drip feed oilers are a manual oiler. Someone needs to move the "snap lever" as you can see in figure 4, before any oil is added to the lubrication point. Also figure 5 is incorrect. The oil level is maintained at the top of the control arm, not the bottom. Trico Corp. calls this the control point on their constant level lubricators. There is a good document (The Constant Level Oiler – Understanding the Lubrication Principle) on their website. It also gives a good description on how the function.

Comment: More description for the comment that I just sent. The first bullet pertains to constant level lubricators but not drip feed lubricators. The second bullet pertains to drip feed lubricators but "constant level cup" should be replaced with something like "drip feed reservoir" or "drip feed bottle" to avoid confusing it with the Constant Level Lubricator. I think the confusion is that there are two types of lubricators that "drip" oil into the lubrication point (drip feed lubricator and constant level lubricator). Figure 4 (on page 5) is a drip feed lubricator and Figure 5 (on page 6) is a constant level lubricator.

Pg 32 - Rule of thumb stated for welding tip size (1psi of O2 and C2H2 per tip size) but it's my understanding that the torch is to be balanced (next module), not pressure set.

Comment: I find that the book is all over the map and is not laid out in logical order at all. The majority of the information is there but is in need of being reorganized. The book talks about stick welding for several pages and then with no real warning jumps to mig and or tig. As an example on pages 54 and 55 they talk about effects of polarity and also arc blow with regards to stick welding , then on the very next page they want to talk about what a chipping hammer and wire brush are used for (this is just not a logical order) and on the very next page they jump to starting procedures for arc initiation with a tig torch.

All the 180J6 belts that I can find online are 18.0" long. https://www.motioncanada.ca/products/sku/00721519 And a 185J6 comes up as an 18.5", so the last digit should be after the decimal point, although I do not have a copy of the RMA coding standard to confirm. https://www.beltingonline.com/j-section-polyv-belts-c-513_1240/470j6-185-inch-x-6-ribs-poly-vflex-belts-p-17285.html

Comment: The objective activity three questions 7 and 8 have some errors. One of the errors is on the dial readings in Figure 33. The dials do not balance. Also the answer for H1 by reading the graph is -1.5 away from the datum which would round to -2 so the objective answer for question 8 should be -2 not -1. The graph for H2 and the answer match and do not need to be edited. To fix these questions, they may need to be completely redone.

Comment: This module causes confusion for the student because it isn't consistent in the figures. Sometimes the Fixed machine is on the left and the MTBM is on the right and in others it shows the Fixed on the right and the MTBM on the left. The graphics have been labeled correctly but it causes confusion for someone just learning the process. I suggest having all the figures show the Fixed on the right and the MTBM on the left. I feel that way because that is how we build the graph. We have the "A" dial on the far right side of the graph and work to the left to plot "B" dial and the feet on the MTBM. The figures that show the Fixed machine on the left are 6 and 9-14. If we could flip these graphics and correct the labeling all would be good. Some editing of the text may also be needed. Not a big job.

Comment: Question 10 on page 53 asks to calculate the NPSHa The Answer on page 54 is just the result of subtracting the vapour pressure (VP) from the absolute pressure (PA) which results in (12.98 psia) The explanation of NPSHa and the calculating for NPSHa on page 19 doesn't appear to be in alignment with the method used to solve question 10 on page 53.

Comment: These pages explain how we convert pressure (psi) into feet of head. On page 9 we give two formulas, Each formula contains a "constant". On page 8 we explain where ".433" comes from but we don't explain where "2.31" come from. .433 = 144 cubic inches of water / 62.4 pounds (for a cubic foot of water). 2.31 comes from flipping the area and weight. 2.31 = 62.4 pounds / 144 cubic inches. I think this needs to be added to the content.

Comment: The paragraph just above figure 3 states in the last sentence that the balance holes are to improve efficiency. They are to improve shaft thrust characteristics but actually reduce efficiency and head because of fluid re-circulation. Change this sentence to read "... may have balance holes to reduce thrust." Check out this article on the relationship between balance hole size and the efficiency and thrust reduction. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1755-1315/240/3/032017/pdf
