A careful examination was then made of the way in which each girl spent her time and an accurate time study was undertaken, through the use of a stop-watch and record blanks, to determine how fast each kind of inspection should be done, and to establish the exact conditions under which each girl could do her quickest and best work, while at the same time guarding against giving her a task so severe that there was danger from over fatigue or exhaustion.
In most trades, the science is developed through a comparatively simple analysis and time study of the movements required by the workmen to do some small part of his work, and this study is usually made by a man equipped merely with a stop-watch and a properly ruled notebook.
The Big Bug now decided to investigate, and he demanded the reason for the stop-watch and the hard labour. "We've just timed this mounting, sir, to see how quickly it could be moved for firing at a Hun. I find it travels at the rate of 6.5 inches a minute." "Disgraceful," said the Big Bug. "We'll get them replaced by the new type."
The umpire took out his pocket-book and pencil and stop-watch, and placed himself where he could look across the fighting. The armed fighters stood up face to face at half the length of the room, a novice supporting the right arm of each high in air. 'Paukanten parat? Are the combatants ready? inquired the umpire, who was the chief of the Westphalians. 'Parat!
Ruth, and another of the older girls were at the line, and one of the high school boys who owned a stop-watch timed the race. "Ready!" he shouted. "Set!" The race was from a dead start. The girls bent forward, their left feet upon the mark. "Go!" shouted the starter. The smoothest stretch of ice was right down the center of the Parade. It was still so cold that none of the trees had begun to drip.
When the detachment dismissed, and for the most part gravitated to the canteen, they passed some remarks upon their instructor almost pungent enough to have been worthy of his utterance. "Him an' his everlastin' 'Cut the Time!" "I'm just about fed up with him," said Gunner Donovan bitterly, "and I'd like to know where's all the sense doing this drill against a stop-watch.
Admirable grammarian! But in suspending his voice was the sense suspended likewise? Did no expression of attitude or countenance fill up the chasm? Was the eye silent? Did you narrowly look? I look'd only at the stop-watch, my lord. Excellent observer! And what of this new book the whole world makes such a rout about? Oh!
These men were given all kinds of tasks, which were carried out each day under the close observation of the young college man who was conducting the experiments, and who at the same time noted with a stop-watch the proper time for all of the motions that were made by the men.
In this game any number of players, from fifteen to thirty, seat themselves in a heap on any one player, usually the player next to the dealer. They then challenge him to get up, while one player stands with a stop-watch in his hand and counts forty seconds. Should the first player fail to rise before forty seconds are counted, the player with the watch declares him suffocated.
I may as well be open about it, for everyone will know presently, anyway. The project must be completed in ninety days." "Ninety days? Great heavens!" "That's what I said, too," Lee stated, with a smile. "Several times, in fact. There is an old law, it seems, that enables interested parties to hold a stop-watch on me." "And what's the penalty if you fail to finish the work in those three months?"
