Chapter 119: The Fitter Apprentice (Additional update)
(Thanks to Lightning Swordsman and others for their daily recommendation and support)
Zhu Xuefeng walked over and said hello cordially. Director Sun gave Zhu Xuefeng Not a bad impression.
Director Sun looked up and saw Zhu Xuefeng, and was very happy.
"Boy, you are finally here. I will take you to the Human Resources Office to report in a moment."
"Thank you, Uncle Sun. I am worried about how to find someone to report."
"You kid, let's go, follow me to the Human Resources Office."
Director Sun threw down the cigarette butts and crushed them with his feet. There were so many cigarette butts on the ground. The management of this steel rolling mill is not very strict. There are no smoking areas at all times. Remember to visit Haier. To smoke a cigarette, you have to run under a big tree outside the factory. Thousands of cigarette butts may be thrown into the tree pit, but the big tree is actually alive.
"Old Jiang, come here I brought you a new person. This is Comrade Zhu Xuefeng, the eldest son of Zhu Zhenggang."
Not knowing his position, Zhu Xuefeng had to call her Sister Jiang. If you call Aunt Jiang, you will probably get a blank look.
"Sister Jiang, hello. My name is Zhu Xuefeng. You can just call me Xiaofeng. I will report here today." Come, I will take you to go through the formalities.”
Sister Jiang is very enthusiastic. She has short hair that reaches her ears and looks very capable in decent work clothes.
"You have ready-made college entrance examination physical examination results, we..."
...
Zhu Xuefeng held brand new work clothes and followed Director Sun back to the workshop.
Director Sun asked Zhu Xuefeng what he thought on the way. Knowing that Zhu Xuefeng wanted to learn fitter, he was very satisfied and patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder.
"Work hard and don't embarrass your father. I will find a good master for you. There is no need to say about his skill. You have to study hard."
"Don't worry, Uncle Sun. I promise to study hard." , get graded early so that you can contribute to the factory’s tasks.”
The fitter master Zhu Xuefeng found was named Lu. Lu Mingdong was a seventh-level fitter. There was also an eighth-level fitter named Liu in the third workshop. Master, but I am getting older and will have to retire the year after next, so I won’t be able to take care of you for a few years.
So Director Sun approached Lu Mingdong. Master Lu was only in his forties. Not surprisingly, he would be an eighth grader in a few years. He would be considered a very young eighth grader in the steel rolling mill.
Master Lu and Zhu Zhenggang are also very familiar with each other. Zhu Xuefeng remembers that in the donation list at that time, Master Lu should have donated five yuan. Knowing that Director Sun was really thoughtful, he was very grateful.
"Master Lu, thank you. I will learn from you from now on. If there is anything wrong, don't be polite. I will definitely correct it."
Master Lu nodded, this child My attitude is still very upright. Now that I have graduated from high school, I shouldn’t have to worry too much about the cultural exam. I should pay more attention to the actual operation.
Zhu Xuefeng turned his head again and bowed to Director Sun.
"Thank you, director, for worrying about me and finding a good master. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Director Sun smiled and patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder. Lu Mingdong said.
"Okay, I'll leave this kid to you. Take him well."
The internal structure and environment of the workshop, including the slogans, are similar to those of a motorcycle factory. The biggest difference is There should be more machines here, maybe several times that of the motorcycle factory. It seems that the capabilities are still much stronger.
There are many simple lathes that can be used for preliminary processing. The accuracy of these lathes is not high and they should be imported goods in the past.
There are many kinds of grinding wheels, including electric ones, hand-cranked ones, and pedal-operated ones. It is estimated that most of them are made by fitters themselves. If there is no motor, they will design manual ones.
There are also two drilling machines. They should be quite old. Most of them are small drilling machines. If I didn’t look carefully, they should be domestically produced and a bit new.
The two punch machines that kept making clanging sounds should be about 20 tons, and they seemed to be imported goods. Zhu Xuefeng also saw two big guys in the distance, which should be shears for cutting steel plates. Nowadays, there is no laser cutting, but mechanical sawing, which is very advanced, at least it is not a manual sawing.
Master Lu came over and handed a manual on Mount Everest. "You are a high school student. Everything here is relatively simple. You should be able to understand it. This is what our fitters should know. It will be tested during the grade examination. You should understand the above things when you have time."
“Thank you, Master Lu.”
Master Lu said with a smile.
“I’m still called Master Lu, shouldn’t I change my name to Master?”
Zhu Xuefeng scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
“Thank you, Master!”
For the first time in my two lives, I have a serious master. Coach Gao doesn’t count, I can only count as a cheap master, half of it.
Master Lu took Zhu Xuefeng to the tool warehouse and received a set of tools for fitters, including many.
"The fitter's tools are divided into seven categories in total. There are almost hundreds of them. You are an apprentice now, so it is enough to get these first."
Zhu Xuefeng checked it in the library. We also know that there are scoring, carving, filing, sawing, drilling, thread tapping, scraping, etc. There are indeed many.
But what I am receiving now are various specifications of wrenches, screwdrivers, various hand hammers, a pair of gloves, an old-fashioned vernier caliper, two large and small steel files, a hand saw with several saw blades, No more, what can we do?
Follow Master Lu back to the work station. There is only a large vise on the work station, which is used to fix parts. It is really crude. I remember Master Xie from the motorcycle factory. There are only several cabinets of tools in the tool cabinet. My own A little too shabby.
"For a while, don't get started yet. Get familiar with the tools first, especially the calipers. This must be learned first, as it guarantees your accuracy."
Zhu Xuefeng nodded, I know these things myself, but I still have to take a look.
Master Lu saw that he was open to teaching, so he continued to explain.
“It stands to reason that fitters who enter the factory must undergo several days of intensive safety education, and two more safety educations in the workshop and in the team before they can go to work and learn on site.”
Zhu Xuefeng is very familiar with this. Isn't it the third-level safety education? It was proposed in 1952 and then promoted. This system was still in use before he came here.
"Safety is no small matter, your father... I won't say it anymore. In short, safety must be taken into consideration. You are reporting alone, and these educations can only be left to the master."
"Don't worry, Master. I will definitely operate this in strict accordance with the regulations. I will study the safety requirements carefully when I get home."
Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng is on the road, Master Lu is relieved. Anyway, both of them have work stations. Together, I can keep an eye on myself at any time.
“The fitter apprentice has to learn a lot, including sawing, filing, carving, drilling and manual tapping and threading. You should learn to saw and file first. Others are too difficult for you, take your time.”
Zhu Xuefeng knew that what Master Lu said were thoughtful words, so he quickly nodded in agreement.
“Okay, master, I will first take a look at what you need to know, then learn about the tools, and then learn these two things.”
The work of a fitter apprentice is very complicated, and every day I am working non-stop, the workload is very heavy, very tiring, and it is basically all manual work. As for repairing equipment and maintaining machines, I have to wait until I have been graded before I can touch them.
I finished reading the first-level knowledge and skills meeting in just a few minutes. The tools are very simple and there is nothing to think about. Didn’t the master say that the current work is sawing and filing, which is simple and labor-intensive? live.
…
Mark the processing part of the part according to the requirements of the drawing, draw the lines, and fix it on the vise. Zhu Xuefeng starts to saw, and when he is almost done, he changes the file. When the accuracy is required, he takes out the caliper to measure carefully, and then uses a small file to finish it. .
Master Lu has been paying attention to Zhu Xuefeng. It seems that Zhu Xuefeng must have practiced and is very skilled.
Zhu Xuefeng is following Master Lu's instructions and trying to process a few simple products. It is not difficult and the drawings are very simple. For Zhu Xuefeng's abnormal strength and eyesight, there is no difficulty in processing these things. It just increases proficiency.
