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.
