PLAN No. 932. SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISABLED MEN
In this field there are positions which will appeal to men with certain sorts of disabilities. Some of these occupations require a knowledge of materials and processes and the ability to direct men, but demand little in the way of mechanical training. Among these may be mentioned the following:
Foreman of cabinetmakers and assemblers.
Foreman of shipping room.
Yard foreman, in charge of dry kiln and yard.
Cost estimator for planing-mill.
Salesman for factory-made products.
Furniture designer and detailer.
Other occupations which require more mechanical ability and which pay better wages than straight factory work may be mentioned also. These include:
Foreman of the filing room (saw filing, knife and cutter grinding, etc.).
Factory millwright.
Foreman of the mill room or machine room.
Operator of Linderman machine or of automatic turning machines.
Practically all of the above special positions may be obtained only by men who have had previous training and experience before becoming disabled. These positions will be attractive to such men because they offer better wages and do not require so much manual labor.
