What are indentures?
I have mine and I have my Father's safely locked away and to answer your question when a school leaver was offered an apprnticeship he went with his Father to meet the Works Manager of the company that was providing the apprenticeship.
There, an agreement was drawn-up which listed what was expected of the Apprentice and what the Company would provide in the way of Training and the hours of work, rate of pay etc.
It was signed by all parties - the apprentice, his Father and the Company Manager and kept by the company until the apprentice finished his "time" then it was handed to him usually by the manager in a little celebration.
It tells the dates that the apprenticeship was served and the description o the trade that the apprentice is qualified in.
In my Father's case, his says he was a Fitter & Turner and in mine says I am a Precision Engineer - so what the f*** have I been messing about with wires & pipes for?? :thinking::thinking:
