New employees are started on simple work and given individual
instruction. They are then advanced to more difficult work.
By this method of training we have operators giving top production
who only a short time ago were automobile salesmen, cigar salesmen,
letter carriers and watchmen.
The women trained in this way are producing excellent results and are
making as good pay as the men on the same piece-work. At some types
of inspection they excel any men we ever had on the jobs for speed
and accuracy.
We have two men, with _only one arm_ each! (after proper training)
doing more work than the average two men.
The company has created a new department for the production of
Liberty Motor Aeroplane Carburetors, and the work of this department
includes a great variety of machines. It writes:
In order to furnish employees for this work with at least partial
training, we are recruiting them from other departments in the shop
doing similar work; in each of these other departments we have a
section set aside which includes type machinery, and new employees
are put at this work under careful supervision and training to
develop them and thoroughly determine their value before being
advanced on to aeroplane work.
