Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory Realism and romance lie very near to gether, and we shall find the factory, when we come to study the history of it, some thing more than granite walls and grinding machinery; the factory, indeed, has been an important instrument in the upward pro gress of mankind. There is an ugly side to the story, especially in the beginning, for when the craftsmen of the world were trans formed into factory operatives, thousands suffered a degree of poverty never known before, and many perished in the transition to the new system of manufacturing; but in the end that system revolutionized the whole social order, gave to toil its right ful dignity, and, creating a new loyalty to the cause of labor, became an element in the development of modern democracy. It is this brighter side of the story that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory Girl Have got along in times past, and been as good a liver as most of the neighbours of our standing; yet, when I am gone you will find a difference. It makes me grieve when I think of it, till it comes to my mind that God has said, Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. That kind promise comforts me, dear mo ther.' Here, Mary, your poor dear father stopped, took both my hands, and, as be squeezed them in his, gave as sweet a smile as ever he did when he was well: and there was such a bright pleasant look in his eyes as I never saw before: though he always had an easy contented way of looking; and I am sure a cheerful good child he was to me from his birth.

Download or read book The Factory written by Hiroko Oyamada and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English-language debut of Hiroko Oyamada—one of the most powerfully strange young voices in Japan The English-language debut of one of Japan's most exciting new writers, The Factory follows three workers at a sprawling industrial factory. Each worker focuses intently on the specific task they've been assigned: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. But their lives slowly become governed by their work—days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What's going on with the strange animals here? And after a while—it could be weeks or years—the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: What am I doing here? With hints of Kafka and unexpected moments of creeping humor, The Factory casts a vivid—and sometimes surreal—portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.

Download or read book The Factory System and the Factory Acts Classic Reprint written by R. W. Cooke-Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Factory System and the Factory Acts Half-a-century ago the Factory System meant to the minds of most people a new and portentous phenomenon in industry against which unusual precautions'had to be taken lest it should issue in a degenerated race of operative labourers Factory Acts meant the partial and peculiar body of laws specially devised to avert this catastrophe. At the present day both these significations are completely obsolete. So far from the Factory System being regarded now as likely to degenerate labourers, it is that persistently recom mended by some of the best friends of labour as a happy means of escape from other modes of industry; and the Factory Acts are so little partial in their operation, that it is difiicult for anyone, not an expert, to say what is, and what is not (within the compass of productive in dustry) excluded from their wide-spreading influence. These great changes seem to require some explanation. The fundamental explanation resides, of course, in.

Download or read book The MGA written by John Price Williams and published by Veloce Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book is the definitive study of the MGA, for the author has gone back to factory records and to the people who worked on the car in the 'fifties, to find out how it was conceived, manufactured and marketed. Here is the real story of the MGA's engineering, body styling and every aspect of the car's development and production - including MG's strategy to beat its competitors. In seven years of production, there were major successes and sad disappointments. The MGA was the car that was "right first time" and though the Twin Cam variant was a nightmare for the factory, it is now the most sought after model. This book tells how the sleepy Thames-side village of Abingdon became a mass-production centre for the MGA, how the MGA became one of America's best-loved sports cars and how the MGA has become one of today's classic cars, cherished by enthusiastic owners all over the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?
