Originally, there were 12 Modules in black and white pamphlet form, followed next by a format using a black and white, loose 3-ring binder approach which simplifies the task of revisions and printing format changes. The 1995 revision continued th loose leaf and binder approach, but incorporated the liberal use of color graphics for the first time, as well as, improvements in the layout and font types for improved legibility. The current revision simplifies Modules 4 and 7 and corrects the typographical errors that ‘crept’ into the 1995 version. It is hoped these recent changes make the learning experience more enjoyable, and result in greater retention of the technical material ‘The technical content of the last two versions of the training materials has also been changed some- what to include several new technologies and topics, and to broaden the technical base for the Certified Welding Inspector. However, these latest versions are not entirely new texts, since it required retention of much of the original technical content to comply with the responsibility of mecting the training coverage requirements of the existing CWI Certification Test Question Bank. Future revisions will be necessary, and are anticipated as the welding technology evolves and the usage of the metric system becomes more common within the welding community in the United States. J.R. Roper, Ph.D., Roper Engineering, authored the new sections on EBW and LBW. Also, thanks to Richard D. Campbell, Welding Solutions, Inc., for his technical and editing input. Special thanks are also given to Richard L. Holdren, Senior Research Engineer, Edison Welding Institute, who authored the 1986 version of the training material, which is retained in large part in the current version, December 1998 ‘Ted V.
