Some well-known studies of the efficiency engineers clearly demonstrate the possibility of such systematic efforts. The best-known case is probably Taylor's study of the pig-iron handlers of the Bethlehem Steel Company. He found that the gang of 75 men was loading on the average about 12-1/2 tons per man per day.
When he returned we found he had gone over a fence into a field, so we had to dismount and plough through the snow after the sleigh; then we reseated ourselves, but oh, the poor horses!... WENDTE'S STATION, January 14, 12-1/2 o'clock P. M. Well, well, good folks at home, these surely are the times that try women's souls.
For instance, instead of shovelling 16 tons a day, a man can shovel 59 tons; a man loading pig-iron increased his total load per day from 12-1/2 to 47-1/2 tons; the day's tale of bricks laid has been raised from 1000 to 2700. The list could be extended to cover operatives working at machines.
There is, then, not a person in the caravan who suffers so little from the heat as I do, I recommend the plan to travellers. These last four days we have made immense progress towards Aheer I mean, its inhabited districts. Wednesday 12-1/2 hours 31 miles. Thursday 13 " 32-1/2 " Friday 14 " 35 " Friday night to Saturday morning 9 " 22-1/2 " At 2-1/2 miles an hour 121 miles.
When we paraded with the prisoner handcuffed, the sergeant-major handed me my instructions and money to defray expenses. The prisoner was allowed 12-1/2 cents per day. We then loaded our rifles, fixed bayonets, and marched off to Farnboro station en route to Southampton. After we were comfortably seated in the coach, I did not like to see the prisoner handcuffed, so removed the shackles.
"Yes, here it is, and quoted $1.12-1/2 per gallon, as I live! That's nine shillings a gallon, Mary just calculate on that bit of paper thirty times one hundred and seventy-seven, Mary; how much is that, child?" "I make it 5310, uncle yes, that is right. But what are the 30 times for, sir?" "Gallons, gal, gallons. Each barrel has 30 gallons in it, if not more.

If, therefore, the existing speed were 10 miles, it would be increased to 12-1/2 miles by doubling the power, and the vessel would ply with about a fourth less coals by increasing the power in the manner suggested. Q. Is not high pressure steam dangerous in steam vessels? A. Not necessarily so, and it has now been introduced into a good number of steam vessels with satisfactory results.

This task seemed so very large that we were obliged to go over our work several times before we were sure we were absolutely right.... The task which faced us as managers under the modern scientific plan ...was ...to see that the 80,000 tons of pig-iron were loaded on the cars at the rate of 47 tons per man per day in place of 12-1/2 tons.... It was further our duty to see that this work was done without bringing on a strike among the men, without any quarrel with the men, and to see that the men were happier and better contented with loading at the new rate of 47 tons than they were when loading at the old rate of 12-1/2 tons.
