DONE BY “women operatives who are usually able to practically reach the time taken by the men on this work.

In reference to our method of producing toolroom outfits most economically and with a large output:
This is chiefly accomplished by anticipating our machine shop requirements or demands far enough in advance so that the majority of work passing through the toolroom can be manufactured in quantities great enough to be produced economically, and also bringing the toolroom work nearer to an actual manufacturing basis. This also eliminates a lot of down or lost time, including the unnecessary losses, such as occur between jobs on work of this nature.
