Publisher's Synopsis

Six Weeks In The Speed Room is a book written by Arthur P. Sennett in 1913. The book is a memoir of Sennett's experience as a young man working in a factory that produced automobile parts. The factory had a special room called the ""speed room"" where workers were trained to work faster and more efficiently. Sennett spent six weeks in this room and the book details his observations and experiences during that time. The book provides a fascinating insight into the early days of manufacturing and the intense pressure put on workers to increase productivity. It also highlights the physical and mental toll that this kind of work can take on a person. Overall, Six Weeks In The Speed Room is an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by workers in the early days of industrialization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
