Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fatigue and Efficiency: A Study in Industry
I have related in Part I, from the lay point Of view, a variety Of technical matters, physiological, economic, and legal. In the desire to cite concrete particulars in support of all general or abstract statements, much space has been given to illustrations from contemporary industrial life. And since these matters are for the most part still contro versial, effort has been made to give, in the footnotes, the confirming documentary authorities. Wherever it has been necessary to choose between public or private research in describing facts, preference has been shown to the reports Of government investigation, since they are usually held to be the more impersonal records.
I have endeavored throughout to steer a middle course between the technical and the popular, aiming to pursue the technical arguments only so far as they are essential for serious discussion, without involving the reader in technical intricacies needed only by the specialist.
