The elements of the art which at first appear most difficult to investigate are the percentages which should be allowed, under different conditions, for rest and for accidental or unavoidable delays. These elements can, however, be studied with about the same accuracy as the others. Perhaps the greatest difficulty rests upon the fact that no two men work at exactly the same speed.
