Electrical Engineering exam papers from 1920's and 30's

[SparkyAndGeorge]

Hi everyone, came across these old Electrical Engineering exam papers. Thought they may be of interest to somebody. Honestly how many can you get correct? They are incredibly difficult. Enjoy

Ok well I failed that then!

I suspect @Lucien Nunes Will be when he sees them.

I find it interesting that in 1929 the electrical engineering questions come with metric measurements, then in 1934 the engineering questions come in imperial units.

I'd never heard of a Maxwell unit, and now I've googled it I know why.

Those Engineering papers have made my brain hurt!
I'm alright with the Maths one though

Ah, the joys of CGS units complete with the delightful statamps and the like. I grew up and learned with SI units, but when the going was too slack one of my physics teachers would thrust CGS on us and, in return, I would spice up my homework with answers in a mix of imperial, metric, nautical and ancient Roman units. Furlong-Mhos per farad was my preferred unit of velocity.

One day if I can find the time (unlikely) I'd have some fun writing a set of model answers to those Q's.

They look like the examee was stuck/bored judging by all those letter 'o's that have been coloured in

He's working on them, right now, with Tel.

No more posts from those two for a month or so then.

Pete I believe is the author of these papers as the ones he sat as an apprentice related to gas lighting.....

Like lots of thing in life, never heard of the Man now he could be once again leading the way.
