SHOP MANAGEMENT
201
large part of the details of management can be seen,
which represent the best of their kinds. The finest
developments are for the most part isolated, and in
many cases almost buried with the mass of rubbish
which surrounds them.
Among the many improvements for which the
originators will probably never receive the credit
which they deserve the following may be mentioned.
The remarkable system for analyzing all of the
work upon new machines as the drawings arrived
from the drafting-room and of directing the move-
ment and grouping of the various parts as they
progressed through the shop, which was developed
and used for several years by Mr. Wm. H. Thorne,
of Wm. Sellers & Co., of Philadelphia, while the
company was under the general management of Mr.
J. Sellers Bancroft. Unfortunately the full benefit
of this method was never realized owing to the lack
of the other functional elements which should have
accompanied it.
And then the employment bureau which forms
such an important element of the Western Electric
Company in Chicago; the complete and effective
system for managing the messenger boys introduced
by Mr. Almon Emrie while superintendent of the
Ingersoll Sargent Drill Company, of Easton, Pa.;
the mnemonic system of order numbers invented
by Mr. Oberlin Smith and amplified by Mr. Henry
R. Towne, of The Yale & Towne Company, of Stam-
ford, Conn.; and the system of inspection intro-
duced by Mr. Chas. D. Rogers in the works of the
American Screw Company, at Providence, R. I.
