Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours of Work as Related to Output and Health of Workers: Silk Manufacturing, Research Report Number 16; March, 1919 The Board's investigation of the hours-of-work problem in the silk manufacturing industry was conducted along the same general lines as the earlier investigations in the cotton1 and wool' manufacturing industries. The results of the silk investigation, however, present a striking con trast with those for the two other textile industries studied. In the northern cotton industry, reductions to less than 56 hours per week involved a general loss in ouput in more than 90% of the establishments3 and in a majority of cases this loss was approximately proportional to the reduction in time. Again, in the wool industry, a reduction to a 54 - hour schedule resulted in a general loss in output, though the loss was somewhat less pronounced than in the cotton industry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours of Work as Related to Output and Health of Workers: Metal Manufacturing Industries; Research Report Number 18; July, 1919 This study of the hours-of-work problem in the metal manufacturing industries was conducted with the same general purpose as the Board's earlier studies of the cotton,1 boot and shoe,2 wool,3 and silk4 manufacturing industries, viz. To assemble the results of actual experience with reductions in hours of work as reflected in output and in the health of workers. The present report includes the metal trades proper, foundries, automobile, hardware, electrical equipment, and some miscellaneous establishments. Because of the large number of metal trades establish ments which have in recent years made substantial reductions in work schedules, interest now centers in experience with a 50-hour and a 48-hour week. Analysis of the evidence submitted by establishments working on these schedules indicates that a universal reduction to a 50-hour week in the metal manufacturing industries would involve a loss in output; nevertheless, the number of establishments maintaining production with such a schedule is sufficiently large to indicate that a 50 - hour week could be rather generally introduced Without seriously curtailing production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours and Health of Women Workers: Report of Illinois Industrial Survey, December, 1918 The Illinois Industrial Survey has established a fact base for a comparison of the 8, 9 and 10 hour days in their bearing on the health and the productive ability of the worker. Although much remains to be done in applying these conclusions, in investigating the related is sues of overtime, rest and lunch periods, night work, and in study ing the other elements of industrial fatigue, such as speed, monotony, public pressure, etc., findings of this survey point toward very definite conclusions in regard to a shorter maximum for working hours for women. This survey has made special study of the question of industrial fatigue as outlined in the introduction. Some study has been made also of accidents and night work. The following statements cover the findings of the Illinois Indus trial Survey. Each will be briefly explained in the sections of this chapter. Detailed findings will be presented in the chapters which follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
