This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of
Labor Statistics survey of wages and supplementary
benefits in the nonelectrical machinery manufacturing
industries in January 1981. Data on occupational earn­
ings, establishment practices, and supplementary wage
provisions are presented by area for all machinery in­
dustries combined. Information on occupational pay
also is presented for selected individual industries in
nine areas.
Separate releases were issued during the spring and
summer of 1981 for each of the 23 metropolitan areas
covered by the survey. Copies are available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C., 20212,
v or any of its regional offices.




The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of
Wages and Industrial Relations. Carl F. Prieser of the
Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Benefit
Levels analyzed the survey results and prepared this
bulletin. Fieldwork for the survey was directed by the
Bureau’s Assistant Regional Commissioners for
Operations.
Other reports currently available from the Bureau’s
program of industry wage studies, as well as the ad­
dresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the
end of this bulletin.

Machinery Manufacturing,
January 1981

operators were employed in the areas surveyed. In Janu­
ary 1981, about 7,900 operators of N /C equipment were
reported in the 23 areas 4.
Average pay for operators of numerically controlled
machines who do set-up work ranged from $7.57 in
Hartford-New Britain-Bristol to $10.35 in Milwaukee.
For operators of N /C machines set up by others, the
spread in average pay was from approximately $7 to
$10 per hour, among the six areas where data could be
shown. In 7 of 20 areas for which comparisons could
be made, N /C operators who do set up work averaged
more per hour than class A conventional machine-tool
operators. In another 11 areas, earnings of these N/C
operators fell between the pay levels for class A and
class B conventional operators.
In plants with N /C machines, formal policies regard­
ing wages for operators of these machine tools varied
widely (table 43). Nearly 260,000 production workers
were in plants with N /C machines. Almost one-half of
them were employed in factories that did not establish
a formal rate relationship between operators of N /C
equipment and conventional machine tools; one-third
worked in plants which set the same wage rates for
both types of operators; and about one-sixth worked in
plants which set higher rates for N /C than for conven­
tional operators. A few establishments set N /C rates
lower than conventional rates; some plants had other
wage-setting policies.
Average pay for machine-tool operators in the tool­
room ranged from $7.69 an hour in New York to $13.06
in San Francisco-Oakland, but typically ranged between
$9 and $11. Toolroom work generally involves plan­
ning and performing difficult machining operations
which require complicated setups or a high degree of
accuracy. In 12 of the 20 areas compared, machine-tool
operators in the toolroom averaged more per hour than
class A production machine-tool operators.
Assemblers usually accounted for between one-tenth
and two-tenths of the production work force in an area.
Average earnings for work requiring fitting of parts

Earnings and benefits
Occupational earnings in nonelectrical machinery
manufacturing industries varied considerably among the
23 areas surveyed in January 1981. This is due, in part,
to the diversity of skills required to manufacture a va­
riety of products, ranging from staple removers and
pencil sharpeners to large, complex engines, turbines,
and oil drilling rigs. Occupations selected to represent
production workers in these industries 1accounted for
slightly over half of the 393,000 production and related
workers covered by the study 2(tables 1-35).
Among jobs surveyed, tool and die makers usually
had the highest hourly earnings. Average pay ranged
from $8.81 in Worcester to $ 14.20 in San Francisco-Oakland, but typically was between $9 and $11.50 per hour.
In 8 of the 15 areas that could be compared, workers
producing tools and dies for internal use (those em­
ployed in other than jobbing shops) averaged more than
workers producing tools and dies for sale (those em­
ployed in jobbing shops). The differential was gener­
ally 10 percent or less.
Machine-tool operators on production work formed
the largest occupational group studied. Conventional
operators were classified into three groups for wage
study purposes. Operators who set up their own ma­
chines and perform a variety of operations to close tol­
erances (class A) averaged from $7.89 per hour in At­
lanta to $12.06 in San Francisco-Oakland. Almost half
of the machine-tool operators studied were classified in
this category. The corresponding range for the inter­
mediate group of operators (class B) was from $6.52 in
New York to $10.64 in San Francisco-Oakland; and for
operators who do routine and repetitive work but do
not set up machines (class C), the averages ranged from
$4.83 in Los Angeles-Long Beach to $9.03 in San
Francisco-Oakland.
Numerically controlled (N/C) machine tools use
coded instructions that direct the machine tool through
a sequence of operations. The Bureau first developed
information on the number of operators on N /C ma­
chines in the 1970-71 survey3when approximately 3,100

3Information on earnings o f N /C machine-tool operators was first
collected in the February 1973 survey.

in Chicago to 12.4 percent in Minneapolis-St. Paul. The
average gain was between 9 and 11 percent in 16 of the
21 areas.
For all 21 areas combined, material handling laborers’
earnings increased 9.8 percent annually from January
1978 to January 1981. Tool and die makers (working
in other than jobbing shops) received increases at a 10.8
percent annual rate. The higher increase for the more
skilled job reversed the trend for the two skill groups
begun in the mid-sixties. The Bureau’s Employment
Cost Index for manufacturing increased at an 8.9 per­
cent annual rate over the 1978-81 period.

and decisions regarding proper performance of parts or
units (class A) typically ranged between $7.50 and $10
an hour. Workers assembling in accordance with stand­
ard and prescribed procedures (class B) typically aver­
aged between $5.50 and $8, while those performing
short-cycle, repetitive assembling operations (class C)
generally averaged between $5 and $7.
Janitors, among the lowest paid occupations in the
survey, averaged between $5.11 in Atlanta and $8.84 in
Detroit. They averaged less than $7 in 17 of the 23
areas.
Based on nine occupational classifications common
to all areas, Detroit had the highest average earnings
and Atlanta the lowest. Regionally, North Central and
West Coast cities usually paid 10 to 20 percent more
than Northeastern or Southern cities.
The interarea spread in average hourly earnings var­
ied by occupation. For example, class C inspectors in
Chicago averaged 23 percent more per hour than their
counterparts in Houston. The corresponding spread for
machine-tool operators in the toolroom was 6 percent.
However, class C assemblers in Houston averaged 20
percent more than their counterparts in Chicago in a
reversal of the regional trend noted earlier.
Almost all establishments studied provided paid holi­
days and paid vacations to production workers. Most
workers received between 9 and 14 holidays per year
(table 40). Workers typically received 1 or 2 weeks of
vacation after 1 year of service, 2 or 3 weeks after 5
years, and 3 weeks or more after 10 years (table 41).
Establishments providing life, hospitalization, surgi­
cal, and basic medical insurance employed virtually all
production workers in most areas (table 42). A large
majority of workers were also covered by major medi­

Industry eharaeterisies

The 23-area survey covered almost one-fourth of the
1.6 million production and related workers employed
in machinery manufacturing industries nationwide. Pro­
duction worker employment, according to the survey,
was highest in the Chicago metropolitan area (48,500).
Other large machinery manufacturing centers (about
35,000 production workers each) included Detroit, Los
Angeles-Long Beach, and Milwaukee. The smallest cen­
ters studied (with fewer than 5,000 production workers
each) were Atlanta, Portland, and Worcester (appendix
table B-l).
The types of products manufactured varied consid­
erably among the 23 areas in the January 1981 study.
In Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Tulsa, slightly over
one-half of the production workers were in plants pro­
ducing construction and related equipment such as oil
field machinery. Just over one-half of the workers in
Worcester and Detroit, and slightly over one-third of
the workers in Buffalo, New York, Pittsburgh, and
Cleveland, were in establishments primarily manufac­
turing metalworking machinery. Office and computing
machinery were important products in Minneapolis-St.
Paul, Denver-Boulder, and San Francisco-Oakland.
In the 23 areas studied, establishments employing
nearly two-fifths of the workers used a multiple opera­
tion system commonly referred to as ‘bank operations’.
This system enables one worker to operate two or more
production machine tools of the same type simultane­
ously. Slightly over two-fifths of the workers assigned
to bank operations received a wage differential for such
work (table 43).
About seven-eighths of the production workers were
employed in establishments having assembly work.
Two-fifths were employed in plants primarily using
floor assembly systems, one-third in plants using bench
assembly, and one-eighth in plants using conveyor lines.
Types of assembly systems varied among areas because
of the wide variety of machinery products manufac­
tured. The proportion of workers in plants chiefly us­
ing bench assembly, for example, ranged from 5 per­
cent in Atlanta to 75 percent in Denver-Boulder.

cal, accidental d eath and dism em berm ent, and sickness

and accident insurance. Employers typically paid the
entire cost of these health and insurance plans. Retire­
ment pension plans, generally financed wholly by em­
ployers, were available to four-fifths or more of the
plant workers in almost all areas.
Trends in earnings

Between January 1978 and January 1981, average
straight-time hourly earnings in selected machinery
manufacturing occupations 5 in 21 areas 6 increased 33
percent, an average (compound) annual gain of 10.2
percent (appendix A). In contrast, between December
1974 and January 1978, the average annual increase was
8.4 percent. During the 1978-81 period, the annual rate
of increase among the 21 areas ranged from 8.1 percent
5See appendix A for a listing of the occupations included in the
calculations.
6Earnings trend data in this report are limited to the 21 areas sur­
veyed since 1955. Tulsa was first studied in the winter 1970-71 sur­
vey and Atlanta in the 1973 survey.




2

Two-fifths of the workers were in plants that had
some kind of formal apprenticeship or training program
(table 43). The proportion of workers in plants having
such programs ranged from 14 percent in Los Angeles-Long Beach to 86 percent in Denver-Boulder.
Provisions for late-shift operations and extra pay
above day-shift rates for such work are widespread in
machinery manufacturing (table 37). The proportion of
workers actually employed on second shifts at the time
of the survey ranged from 5 percent in Atlanta to 29
percent in Houston (table 38). Third-shift employment
ranged from 2 percent or less in eight of the areas up
to about 15 percent in Houston and Pittsburgh. Shift
differentials, usually paid on a cents-per-hour basis or
as a percentage of day-shift rates, varied widely, but
usually amounted to at least 25 cents, or 10 to 15 percent.
At least four-fifths of the production workers in all
the areas except Milwaukee were paid on a time-rate
basis, usually under formal plans that provided a range
of rates for specific occupations (table 36). In most areas,
progression within individual ranges usually was based
on length of service or a combination of length of serv­
ice and merit review. Incentive plans applied to slightly
over one-third of the workers in Milwaukee, nearly
one-fifth in Baltimore and Hartford; one-eighth in Bos­




3

ton, Chicago, and Cleveland; and one-tenth or less in
the remaining areas.
Establishments with collective bargaining agreements
covering a majority of production workers employed
three-fifths of the survey work force. Most of the con­
tracts were with the Machinists (IAM), Auto Workers
(UAW), or Steelworkers (USA). More than
three-fourths of the workers in Hartford-New Britain-Bristol, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Port­
land were covered by contracts (table 43). Less than
three-tenths of the workers were covered by union con­
tracts in Worcester, Denver-Boulder, Dallas-Fort
Worth and San Francisco-Oakland.
Many of the contracts covering nonelectrical machin­
ery workers contain provisions for cost-of-living ad­
justments (COLA) to wage rates. In November 1980,
COLA clauses covered slightly more than 90 percent
of the machinery industries’ 289,000 workers under ma­
jor agreements (covering 1,000 workers or more); this
compared to about 70 percent for workers in major
bargaining units in all manufacturing industries 7

Appendix A. Wage indexes,
1945-81

The machinery index series has been developed from
data obtained in the Bureau’s program of occupational
wage surveys in 21 metropolitan areas studied sepa­
rately since 1955, and is based on the straight-time
hourly earnings of production workers in the following
occupations: Assemblers (classes A, B, and C); mainte­
nance electricians; inspectors (classes A, B, and C); jani­
tors, porters, and cleaners; material handling laborers;
machine-tool operators (classes A, B, and C); produc­
tion machinists; tool and diemakers (other than jobbing);
and class A hand welders. Before 1978, data were based
on earnings of male production workers only.
Area indexes reflect changes in average hourly earn­
ings but not changes in the proportion of workers in
the separate occupations. However, from time to time,
the index procedure is revised to bring the weighting

pattern up to date by changing the set of occupational
weights and the area weights. New indexes are linked
to existing ones to form a continuous series. Reweight­
ing was last carried out for the 1978 survey. For each
area, two aggregates of earnings were obtained by
weighting the average straight-time hourly earnings for
the respective occupations in the 1974 and 1978 surveys
by a new set of weights based on the employment in
the occupations in that area for 1978. The percent
change was determined by comparing the 1978 aggre­
gate with the aggregate for the previous survey (1974);
the 1978 index was computed by applying this percent
change to the previous survey’s (in this case 1974) in­
dex for the area. To maintain consistency of area defi­
nitions for three areas with reduced geographic cover­
age (New York, Newark, and Los Angeles-Long Beach)

obtained by weighting the average straight-time hourly
earnings for the selected occupations in the areas for
the two years by a set of weights, based on employ­
ment in the machinery industry in these areas for 1978.
The percent change was determined by comparing the
1978 aggregate to the 1981 aggregate, and the 1981 in­
dex was computed by applying this change to the 1978
index for all areas combined.

1974 data were adjusted to conform with definitions
used in the 1978 survey. Data for 1974 were also ad­
justed to include men and women workers.
The index for all 21 areas combined is constructed
so as to minimize the effect of employment changes
among the areas studied. The composite index was ob­
tained by using techniques similar to those used to de­
termine area indexes. Two aggregates of earnings were

fices were excluded.
Establishments studied were selected from those em­
ploying 50 workers or more at the time of reference of
the data used in compiling the universe lists. Also in­
cluded were establishments which employed 8 to 49
workers and primarily manufactured special dies and
tools, die sets, jigs and fixtures, or machine-tool ac­
cessories and measuring devices (industries 3544 and
3545). Table B-l shows the number of establishments
and workers estimated to be within the scope of the
survey, as well as the number actually studied by the
Bureau.

The survey included establishments engaged pri­
marily in manufacturing nonelectrical machinery (ma­
jor industry group 35 as defined in the 1972 edition of
the S ta n d a r d I n d u s tr ia l C la ssifica tio n M a n u a l, U.S. Of­

cludes establishments engaged in manufacturing ma­
chinery and equipment, except for electrical equipment
(which is included in major group 36) and transporta­
tion equipment (major group 37). Machines powered
by built-in or detachable motors ordinarily are included
in major group 35, with the exception of electrical
household appliances (major group 36). Portable tools,
both electric and pneumatic powered, are included in

Method of study

were included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Non­
production bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
A v era g e (m ea n ) h o u rly ra te s o r ea rn in g s occupation or
category of workers, such as production workers, were
calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings)
by the number of workers receiving the rate, totaling,
and dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly
earnings of salaried workers were obtained by dividing
straight-time salary by normal (or standard) hours to
which the salary corresponds.

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field representatives to a probability-based sample of
establishments within the scope of the survey. To ob­
tain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater
proportion of large than of small establishments was
studied. In combining the data, however, each estab­
lishment was given an appropriate weight. All estimates
are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments
in the industry, excluding only those below the mini­
mum size at the time of reference of the universe data.

Method of wage payment

Establishment definition

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to
the number of workers paid under the various time and
incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time­
rated workers provide single rates or a range of rates
for individual job categories. In the absence of a formal
rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily by
the qualifications of the individual worker. A single rate
structure is one in which the same rate is paid to all
experienced workers in the same job classification.
Learners, apprentices, or probationary workers may be
paid according to rate schedules which start below the
single rate and permit the workers to achieve the full
job rate over a period of time. An experienced worker
occasionally may be paid above or below the single
rate for special reasons, but such payments are excep­
tions. Range-of-rate plans are those in which the mini­
mum, maximum, or both of these rates paid experienced
workers for the same job are specified. Specific rates
of individual workers within the range may be deter­
mined by merit, length of service, or a combination of
these. Incentive workers are classified under piecework
or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a prede­
termined rate is paid for each unit of output. Produc­
tion bonuses are for production in excess of a quota or
for completion of a task in less than standard time.

An establishment is defined for this study as a single
physical location where manufacturing operations are
performed. An establishment is not necessarily identi­
cal with a company, which may consist of one estab­
lishment or more. In this bulletin, the terms “plant,”
“factory,” and “establishment” have been used
interchangeably.
Employment

Estimates of the number of workers within the scope
of the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition of the industry’s labor force, rather
than as precise measures of employment.
Production workers

The terms “production workers” and “production
and related workers,” used interchangeably in this bul­
letin, include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice activities. Adminis­
trative, executive, professional, and technical person­
nel, and force-account construction employees, who are
used as a separate work force on the firm’s own prop­
erties, are excluded.
Occupational classification

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter­
establishment and interarea variations in duties within
the same job. (See appendix C for these descriptions.)
The criteria for selection of the occupations were: The
number of workers in the occupation; the usefulness of
the data in collective bargaining; and appropriate rep­
resentation of the entire job scale in the industry. Work­
ing supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, train­
ees, and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and proba­
tionary workers were not reported in the data for se­
lected occupations.

Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers employed on
the day shift.
Shift provisions and practices

Shift provisions relate to the policies of establishments
either currently operating late shifts or having formal
provisions covering late-shift work. Practices relate to
workers employed on late shifts at the time of the
survey.

Wag© data

Establishment practices and supplementary
wag© provisions

Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive
payments, such as those resulting from piecework or
production bonus systems, and cost-of-living bonuses

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were con­
sidered applicable to all production workers if they ap­
plied to half or more of such workers in the establish­
ment. Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were
covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the




89

establishment. Because of length-of-service and other
eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers re­
ceiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.

Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of
the worker’s pay during absence from work because of
illness; informal arrangements have been omitted. Sepa­
rate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which pro­
vide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans pro­
viding either partial pay or a waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide pay­
ments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration
of sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or both,
or after a specified period of disability (typically 6
months). Payments are made until the end of disability,
a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits.
Payments may be full or partial, but are almost always
reduced by social security, workers’ compensation, and
private pension benefits payable to the disabled
employee.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans
may be underwritten by a commercial insurance com­
pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form
of self-insurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes
plans designed to cover employees for sickness or in­
jury involving an expense which exceeds the normal
coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Dental insurance, for purposes of this survey, usually
covers fillings, extractions, and X-rays. Excluded are
plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans
which provide regular payments for the remainder of
the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for re­
tirement severance pay (one payment or several over
a specified period of time) made to employees on re­
tirement. Establishments providing both retirement sev­
erance payments and retirement pensions to employees
were considered as having both retirement pensions and
retirement severance plans; however, establishments
having optional plans providing employees a choice of
either retirement severance payments or pensions were
considered as having only retirement pension benefits.

Paid holiday provisions relate to full
and half-day holidays provided annually.

P a id holidays.

The summary of vacation plans is lim­
ited to formal arrangements and excludes informal plans
whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion
of the employer or supervisor. Payments not on a time
basis were converted; for example, a payment of 2 per­
cent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent
of 1 week’s pay. The periods of service for which data
are presented represent the most common practices, but
they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment
provisions for progression. For example, changes in
proportions indicated at 10 years of service may include
changes which occurred between 5 and 10 years.

P a id vacations.

Data are pre­
sented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement
severance plans for which the employer pays all or a
part of the cost, excluding programs required by law
such as workers’ compensation and social security.
Among plans included are those underwritten by a com­
mercial insurance company and those paid directly by
the employer from his current operating funds or from
a fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life insur­
ance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that
type of insurance under which predetermined cash pay­
ments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or
monthly basis during illness or accident disability. In­
formation is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least a part of the cost. How­
ever, in New York and New Jersey, where temporary
disability insurance laws require employer contribu­
tions,1plans are included only if the employer (1) con­
tributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides
the employees with benefits which exceed the require­
ments of the law.

Appendix ©„ ©©©ypatonal

©©©OTptoois

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field rep­
resentatives in classifying into appropriate occupations
workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangements from establish­
ment to establishment and from area to area. This per­
mits the grouping of occupational wage rates represent­
ing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis
on interestablishment and interarea comparability of oc­
cupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may
differ significantly from those in use in individual es­
tablishments or those prepared for other purposes. In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field rep­
resentatives are instructed to exclude working supervi­
sors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and parttime, temporary, and probationary workers.

positioned in the machine by the operator, or the ma­
chine may be equipped with a feeding device that au­
tomatically positions single pieces of stock or repeti­
tively positions strip or sheet stock for successive
operations.
Punch presses are commonly designated by functional
names derived from the operation they perform, such
as blanking press or forming press; by names descrip­
tive of the frame, such as arch press; or by names that
indicate how the power is transmitted, such as crank
press or toggle press.
C la ss A - Work involves any combination of the fol­
lowing: Difficult positioning of work units because of
size or shape, or type of operation to be performed,
processing unusually large work that is positioned in
the press with the aid of other workers; processing work
units that must be steadied while operations are being
performed; deep drawing or forming operations requir­
ing careful positioning of work and prompt recognition
of faulty operation; short-run work requiring ability to
perform a variety of punch-press operations or to op­
erate several types of presses; examining output and
making adjustments as necessary to maintain produc­
tion within standards; setting, aligning and adjusting
' dies and fixtures in the press.
C la ss B - Required mainly to feed, control and ex­
amine operation of the press, and when trouble occurs
to call on supervisor, leadperson, or die maker to cor­
rect the situation. Work involves one or more of the
following: Performing single operations, such as punch­
ing, blanking, or piercing on small or medium size stock
easily positioned by hand; feeding small units into the
press from a feed race or chute; loading and tending a
press equipped with a feeding device for handling a
strip or sheet stock, or a dial drum, magazine or hop­
per feed for handling individual stock blanks.

metal objects. In addition to performing hand welding
or brazing operation, the welder may also lay out guide
lines or marks on metal parts and may cut metal with
cutting torch.
C la ss A - Performs welding operations requiring most
of the following: Planning and laying out of work from
drawings, blueprints, or other written specifications;
knowledge of welding properties of a variety of metals
and alloys, setting up work and determining operation
sequence; welding high pressure vessels or other ob­
jects involving critical safety and load requirements;
working from a variety of positions.
C la ss B - Performs welding operations on repetitive
work, where no critical safety and load requirements
are involved; where the work calls mainly for one-po­
sition welding; and where the layout and planning of
the work are performed by others.

TOOL AMD DUE SHAKER

(Die maker; mold maker; jig maker; toolmaker; fix­
ture maker; gauge maker)
Constructs and repairs jigs, fixtures, cutting tools,
gauges, or metal dies or molds used in shaping or form­
ing metal or non-metallic material (e.g., plastic, plaster,
rubber, glass). Work typically involves: Planning and
laying out work according to models, blueprints, draw­
ings, or other written or oral specifications; understand­
ing the working properties of common metals and al­
loys; selecting appropriate materials, tools, and proc­
esses required to complete tasks; making necessary shop
computations; setting up and operating various machine
tools and related equipment; using various tool and die
maker’s handtools and precision measuring instruments;
working to very close tolerances; heat-treating metal
parts and finished tools and dies to achieve required
qualities; fitting and assembling parts to prescribed tol­
erances and allowances. In general, tool and die maker’s
work requires rounded training in machine-shop and
toolroom practice usually acquired through formal ap­
prenticeship or equivalent training and experience. Ex­
cludes die sinkers.
For wage study purposes, tool and die makers are
classified as follows:

WELDER, MACHINE

(Butt welder; flash welder; seam welder; spot welder)
Operates one or more types of resistance welding ap­
paratus to weld (bond) together metal objects such as
bars, pipes, and plates. Resistance welding is a process
wherein an electric current is passed through the parts
to be welded at the point of contact, and mechanical
pressure is applied forcing the contact surfaces together
at the points to be joined. Welding machines are gen­
erally designed according to type of weld performed
and arrangement of welding surfaces of parts to be
joined. Welds may be made on overlapping units ii? the
form of one or more spots (spot welding) or lineally by
using a rolling electrode (seam welding). Machine weld­
ing of units where the edges are brought together with­
out lapping is referred to as butt welding.
C la ss A - Work involves most of the following: Work­
ing from lay-out or other specifications; knowledge of
welding properties of a variety of metals and alloys;
selecting and setting up work-holding fixtures and elec­
trodes; determination of proper pressures, temperatures,
timing, and flow of current; determination of number
and spacing of welds; positioning and welding units
with or without fixtures; using such handtools as ham­
mers, pliers, files and wrenches.
C la ss B - Work involves: Performing repetitive weld­
ing operations on standard units where current settings
and electrodes are prescribed or set by others; using
fixtures for positioning work or positioning by hand
small parts requiring simple welding operations.

T o o l a n d d ie m a k e r s ( jo b b in g ) - Workers making dies
and tools, die sets, jigs, and fixtures, etc., as the end
product of the establishment.
T o o l a n d d ie m a k e r s ( o th e r th a n jo b b in g ) - Workers
making and/or maintaining dies and tools, die sets, jigs,
and fixtures, etc., for use within the establishment.

TOOL CLERK
