Regardless/RB of/IN nomenclature/NN ,/, yachtels/NNS and/CC boatels/NNS are/VBP marinas/NNS ./.

A/DT recent/JJ survey/NN disclosed/VBD there/EX are/VBP about/IN 4,000/CD commercially/RB and/CC municipally/RB operated/JJ marinas/NNS and/CC boatyards/NNS in/IN the/DT United/NNP States/NNP ,/, the/DT majority/NN of/IN which/WDT are/VBP equipped/VBN to/TO handle/VB outboard/JJ boats/NNS ./. The/DT design/NN of/IN a/DT mechanical/JJ interlocking/VBG frame/NN is/VBZ much/JJ like/IN a/DT mechanical/JJ puzzle/NN ,/, but/CC once/RB understood/VBN ,/, the/DT principles/NNS can/MD be/VB applied/VBN to/TO any/DT track/NN and/CC signal/NN arrangement/NN ./. In/IN the/DT frame/NN are/VBP two/CD sets/NNS of/IN bars/NNS which/WDT interact/VBP with/IN each/DT other/JJ to/TO prevent/VB the/DT operator/NN from/IN making/VBG dangerous/JJ moves/NNS ./. The/DT main/JJ set/NN of/IN bars/NNS are/VBP the/DT ``/`` tappets/NNS ''/'' and/CC one/CD tappet/NN is/VBZ connected/VBN to/TO each/DT lever/NN ./. If/IN the/DT lever/NN is/VBZ pulled/VBN to/TO clear/VB a/DT signal/NN or/CC move/VB a/DT switch/NN ,/, the/DT tappet/NN moves/VBZ a/DT short/JJ distance/NN lengthwise/RB at/IN the/DT same/JJ time/NN ./.

These/DT can/MD also/RB move/VB a/DT short/JJ distance/NN but/CC at/IN right/JJ angles/NNS to/TO the/DT tappets/NNS ./. The/DT number/NN of/IN locking/JJ bars/NNS required/VBN depends/VBZ on/IN how/WRB many/JJ false/JJ moves/NNS must/MD be/VB prevented/VBN ./. In/IN the/DT sides/NNS of/IN the/DT tappets/NNS are/VBP notches/NNS with/IN sloping/VBG sides/NNS ,/, and/CC connection/NN between/IN the/DT tappets/NNS and/CC locking/JJ bars/NNS consist/VB of/IN cams/NNS called/VBN ``/`` dogs/NNS ''/'' ./.

Here/RB 's/VBZ how/WRB the/DT scheme/NN works/VBZ :/: Suppose/VB the/DT operator/NN pulls/VBZ the/DT lever/NN to/TO clear/VB a/DT particular/JJ signal/NN ./. This/DT also/RB pulls/VBZ the/DT tappet/NN connected/VBN to/TO the/DT particular/JJ lever/NN and/CC forces/VBZ any/DT dogs/NNS seated/VBN in/IN the/DT notches/NNS to/TO the/DT side/NN ,/, thus/RB moving/VBG one/NN or/CC more/JJR locking/JJ bars/NNS ./. The/DT dogs/NNS on/IN the/DT other/JJ ends/NNS of/IN these/DT locking/JJ bars/NNS are/VBP thus/RB forced/VBN into/IN notches/NNS in/IN other/JJ tappets/NNS ./.

Interlocking/VBG signals/NNS are/VBP normally/RB at/IN stop/NN or/CC ``/`` red/JJ ''/'' position/NN ,/, and/CC a/DT lever/NN must/MD be/VB pulled/VBN to/TO ``/`` clear/VB ''/'' the/DT signal/NN ./.

A/DT signal/NN can/MD not/RB be/VB cleared/VBN until/IN all/DT the/DT related/JJ turnouts/NNS are/VBP properly/RB thrown/VBN and/CC locked/VBN ./. Such/DT locks/NNS are/VBP nearly/RB always/RB used/VBN where/WRB the/DT switch/NN points/NNS ``/`` face/NN ''/'' oncoming/JJ traffic/NN ./.

Vocational/JJ education/NN I/PRP should/MD like/VB to/TO underline/VB four/CD points/NNS I/PRP made/VBD in/IN my/PRP$ first/JJ report/NN with/IN respect/NN to/TO vocational/JJ education/NN ./.

Fourth/RB ,/, the/DT type/NN of/IN vocational/JJ training/NN programs/NNS should/MD be/VB related/VBN to/TO the/DT employment/NN opportunities/NNS in/IN the/DT general/JJ locality/NN ./. This/DT last/JJ point/NN is/VBZ important/JJ because/IN if/IN high/JJ school/NN pupils/NNS are/VBP aware/JJ that/IN few/JJ ,/, if/IN any/DT ,/, graduates/NNS who/WP have/VBP chosen/VBN a/DT certain/JJ vocational/JJ program/NN have/VBP obtained/VBN a/DT job/NN as/IN a/DT consequence/NN of/IN the/DT training/NN ,/, the/DT whole/JJ idea/NN of/IN relevance/NN disappears/VBZ ./. Vocational/JJ training/NN which/WDT holds/VBZ no/DT hope/NN that/IN the/DT skill/NN developed/VBN will/MD be/VB in/IN fact/NN a/DT marketable/JJ skill/NN becomes/VBZ just/RB another/DT school/NN ``/`` chore/NN ''/'' for/IN those/DT whose/WP$ interest/NN in/IN their/PRP$ studies/NNS has/VBZ begun/VBN to/TO falter/VB ./.

I/PRP have/VBP been/VBN using/VBG the/DT word/NN ``/`` vocational/JJ ''/'' as/IN a/DT layman/NN would/MD at/IN first/JJ sight/NN think/VB it/PRP should/MD be/VB used/VBN ./.

Practically/RB all/DT of/IN these/DT practical/JJ skills/NNS are/VBP of/IN such/DT a/DT nature/NN that/IN a/DT degree/NN of/IN mastery/NN can/MD be/VB obtained/VBN in/IN high/JJ school/NN sufficient/JJ to/TO enable/VB the/DT youth/NN to/TO get/VB a/DT job/NN at/IN once/RB on/IN the/DT basis/NN of/IN the/DT skill/NN ./. They/PRP are/VBP in/IN this/DT sense/NN skills/NNS marketable/JJ immediately/RB on/IN graduation/NN from/IN high/JJ school/NN ./. To/TO be/VB sure/JJ ,/, in/IN tool-and-die/JJ work/NN and/CC in/IN the/DT building/NN trades/NNS ,/, the/DT first/JJ job/NN must/MD be/VB often/RB on/IN an/DT apprentice/NN basis/NN ,/, but/CC two/CD years/NNS of/IN half-time/JJ vocational/JJ training/NN enables/VBZ the/DT young/JJ man/NN thus/RB to/TO anticipate/VB one/CD year/NN of/IN apprentice/NN status/NN ./. Similarly/RB ,/, a/DT girl/NN who/WP graduates/VBZ with/IN a/DT good/JJ working/JJ knowledge/NN of/IN stenography/NN and/CC the/DT use/NN of/IN clerical/JJ machines/NNS and/CC who/WP is/VBZ able/JJ to/TO get/VB a/DT job/NN at/IN once/RB may/MD wish/VB to/TO improve/VB her/PRP$ skill/NN and/CC knowledge/NN by/IN a/DT year/NN or/CC two/CD of/IN further/JJR study/NN in/IN a/DT community/NN college/NN or/CC secretarial/JJ school/NN ./. Of/IN course/NN ,/, it/PRP can/MD be/VB argued/VBN that/IN an/DT ability/NN to/TO write/VB English/NNP correctly/RB and/CC with/IN some/DT degree/NN of/IN elegance/NN is/VBZ a/DT marketable/JJ skill/NN ./.

In/IN a/DT sense/NN almost/RB all/RB high/JJ school/NN and/CC college/NN courses/NNS could/MD be/VB considered/VBN as/IN vocational/JJ to/TO the/DT extent/NN that/IN later/RB in/IN life/NN the/DT student/NN in/IN his/PRP$ vocation/NN (/( which/WDT may/MD be/VB a/DT profession/NN )/) will/MD be/VB called/VBN upon/IN to/TO use/VB some/DT of/IN the/DT skills/NNS developed/VBN and/CC the/DT competence/NN obtained/VBN ./. In/IN spite/NN of/IN the/DT shading/NN of/IN one/CD type/NN of/IN course/NN into/IN another/DT ,/, I/PRP believe/VBP it/PRP is/VBZ useful/JJ to/TO talk/VB about/IN vocational/JJ courses/NNS as/RB apart/RB from/IN academic/JJ courses/NNS ./. Perhaps/RB a/DT course/NN in/IN typewriting/NN might/MD be/VB regarded/VBN as/IN the/DT exception/NN which/WDT proves/VBZ the/DT rule/NN ./. Today/NN many/JJ college/NN bound/NN students/NNS try/VBP to/TO take/VB a/DT course/NN in/IN personal/JJ typing/NN ,/, as/IN they/PRP feel/VBP a/DT certain/JJ degree/NN of/IN mastery/NN of/IN this/DT skill/NN is/VBZ almost/RB essential/JJ for/IN one/NN who/WP proposes/VBZ to/TO do/VB academic/JJ work/NN in/IN college/NN and/CC a/DT professional/JJ school/NN ./. Most/JJS of/IN our/PRP$ largest/JJS cities/NNS have/VBP one/CD or/CC more/RBR separate/JJ vocational/JJ or/CC technical/JJ high/JJ schools/NNS ./. In/IN this/DT respect/NN ,/, public/NN education/NN in/IN the/DT large/JJ cities/NNS differs/VBZ from/IN education/NN in/IN the/DT smaller/JJR cities/NNS and/CC consolidated/VBN school/NN districts/NNS ./. The/DT neighborhood/NN high/JJ schools/NNS are/VBP not/RB ,/, strictly/RB speaking/VBG ,/, comprehensive/JJ schools/NNS ,/, because/IN some/DT of/IN the/DT boys/NNS and/CC girls/NNS may/MD be/VB attending/VBG a/DT vocational/JJ or/CC technical/JJ high/JJ school/NN instead/RB of/IN the/DT local/JJ school/NN ./. Indeed/RB ,/, one/CD school/NN superintendent/NN in/IN a/DT large/JJ city/NN objects/NNS to/TO the/DT use/NN of/IN the/DT term/NN comprehensive/JJ high/JJ school/NN for/IN the/DT senior/JJ high/JJ schools/NNS in/IN his/PRP$ city/NN ,/, because/IN these/DT schools/NNS do/VBP not/RB offer/VB strictly/RB vocational/JJ programs/NNS ./.

The/DT reason/NN is/VBZ that/IN there/EX is/VBZ a/DT lack/NN of/IN interest/NN on/IN the/DT part/NN of/IN the/DT community/NN ./. Therefore/RB employment/NN and/CC education/NN in/IN all/PDT the/DT schools/NNS in/IN a/DT metropolitan/JJ area/NN are/VBP related/VBN in/IN different/JJ ways/NNS from/IN those/DT which/WDT are/VBP characteristic/JJ of/IN the/DT comprehensive/JJ high/JJ school/NN described/VBN in/IN my/PRP$ first/JJ report/NN ./.

A/DT third/JJ aspect/NN ,/, and/CC probably/RB the/DT one/CD open/NN to/TO most/JJS controversy/NN ,/, is/VBZ the/DT results/NNS of/IN the/DT election/NN ./. The/DT electoral/JJ procedure/NN prevented/VBD the/DT ready/JJ identification/NN of/IN party/NN affiliation/NN ,/, but/CC all/RB vitally/RB interested/VBN parties/NNS ,/, including/VBG the/DT government/NN itself/PRP ,/, were/VBD busily/RB engaged/VBN in/IN determining/VBG the/DT party/NN identifications/NNS of/IN all/DT successful/JJ candidates/NNS the/DT month/NN following/VBG the/DT elections/NNS ./.

For/IN although/IN I/PRP had/VBD crossed/VBN a/DT corner/NN of/IN the/DT hall/NN on/IN my/PRP$ way/NN to/TO the/DT toilet/NN I/PRP still/RB could/MD not/RB tell/VB for/IN sure/JJ how/WRB far/RB to/TO the/DT rear/NN the/DT darkness/NN extended/VBD ./.
