In 1935 here are some of the training Questions. I have a copy of the Henry Ford Trade School Auto Mechanics training manual. Copyright 1935 in Dearborn. They must have gone to several Factories and the Assembly plant. I will enter some of the questions. Remember 1935.. Most of the questions are essay type. And NO I don't have all the answers.....
1.. List two purposes of the Torque tube?
2.. What are the advantages of a Transverse spring?
3.. How would pulling out the throttle button affect a running engine?
4.. How much power is lost overcoming friction of the moving parts of a car traveling at 40 MPH?
5.. Is it possible for the second speed main shaft gear to remain motionless when the main drive gear is rotating? Explain?
6.. What are the 5 reasons for changing the charging rate of the Generator?
7.. What are the four ways to starting an engine?
8.. What is the piston speed in feet per second at 3600 RPM and a 6 inch Stroke?
9.. Gas was bought for 12 cents a Gallon and sold for 4 cents a Quart. How much profit was made on 6 Gallons?
10.. Is the driver of the car behind the one in front of you usually careful?
EXTRA CREDIT.. What are the five main ingredients to make Ford Safety Glass?

I cannot answer those, except 9. that would be 24 cents
