RCEME Trades 1944-2020, A Reference Guide summarized the trades that were part of The Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) when the Corps was formed in 1944, and follows the development, amalgamations, changes, and history of the trades from that time to the four trades that are part of RCEME today. During the research for that document, many trades specifications and standards were found in the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and other repositories. These were used to prepare a thumbnail history of each trade in the main reference, but space precluded the inclusion of the complete trade specification and/or standard.
This “RCEME Trades Specifications” series supports the main document and includes the original trade specifications and references as they were found at the LAC and elsewhere. These are source documents for researchers. In general, the raw photographs of the LAC file pages have been converted to a searchable .pdf file. No attempt has been made to reformat the contents of the original files. Because of the size of some of the files, the series has been separated into several volumes, each containing the specifications for a group of trades. The series consists of:
Volume 1 - Aircraft Trades
Volume 2 - Armourer, Armament, and Weapons Technician Trades
Volume 3 - Body and Tire Repair Trades
Volume 4 - Driver and Driver Mechanic Trades
Volume 5 - Electrical Trades
Volume 6 - Instructor Trades
Volume 7 - Instrument Trades
Volume 8 - Metals, Machinist, and Welding Trades
Volume 9 - Radar and Fire Control system (1950s) Trades
Volume 10 - Radio and Telecommunication Trades
Volume 11 - Recovery Mechanic Trades
Volume 12 - Vehicle Repair Trades
Volume 13 - Other Trades
Volume 14 - Trade Reviews
Volume 15 - Post-Unification Trades
Volume 16 - RCEME Trades in 2020
