Stamford, Conn.
We have had in operation for over a year a vestibule school for the training of women employees in our plant, and are obtaining good results from it.
We are training the women mostly for bench and machine work which was formerly done by men, such as: Lock assembling; drill press work, which was formerly considered inappropriate for women employees; hand screw machine and automatic screw machine operators.
We are also training female help on lathe and shaper work. We plan to do the same thing on milling machines and expect eventually to include tool room work.
Our vestibule school activities include the training of male foundry workers, and the training both of men and women to become instructors and machine adjusters.
We also have an Apprenticeship School.
