Three books used when at the University of Melbourne 1945, 1946, 1947.They were used in Mechanical Engineering Practical classes. Jack chose to do Engineering while still at Footscray Technical School as it gave access to Diploma Courses and tertiary studies. This enabled him to enter the University of Melbourne and do a Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering - 1945, 1946, and 1947. In 1948 he did a Diploma in Education at Melbourne University. From this path he was able to follow a career in teaching and his first appointment was at the School of Mines in Ballarat, (SMB) 1949. He became the first Vice Principal of SMB in 1960 and then Principal in 1964 to 1976. From 1976 to his retirement in 1987, he was the Foundation Director of Ballarat College of Advanced Education (BCAE). The Library building at Mount Helen Campus is named after him.2 Black covered books with gold type on covers.

Mechanical Engineering Department Ballarat C.A.E. Final Year Report submitted by John Barker, 1984. The Report was "Internal Combustion Engine Driven Heat Pump". His supervisor was L E Taylor. The location of the experimental rig was in the Thermodynamics Laboratory at Ballarat Council of Advanced Education. This project involved the design, construction and limited testing of an Internal Combustion Engine Driven Heat Pump, utilising full waste heat recovery, for the purpose of heating mains supply water. John is the son of Jack Barker, foundation director of Ballarat College of Advanced Education.75 page report - typed with photos and diagrams. 38 pages - Appendix 1-8engineering, vice principal, foundation director, ballarat college of advanced education, bcae, mount helen campus, engineering drawing, design, manufacture, heat engines, internal combustion engine, report, supervisor, l e taylor, john barker, internal combustion engine driven heat pump, heat recovery, thermodynamics laboratory
