WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN FOUNDRIES
AND MACHINE SHOPS IN 1927
IN T R O D U C T IO N

AND

SU M M A R Y

This bulletin presents the results of a study of wages and hours of
labor by occupations in representative foundries and machine shops
in the United States in the summer of 1927. It was not practicable
for the bureau to make a complete census of all plants, but data were
obtained from a sufficient number in each State in which the indus­
try is of material importance to represent fairly the conditions in
those States and in the country as a whole. The 28 States included in
the study were determined by the number of wage earners reported
in the industry by the Census of Manufactures of the United States,
each haying a sufficient number of wage earners in the industry to war­
rant inclusion. In the States not included in the report there are,
according to the Census of Manufactures, only 5 per cent of the total
number of wage earners employed in these closely correlated industries.
Average hours and earnings for 1927 are presented in this report
by occupations for a total of 38,943 wage earners in 417 foundries
and 86,779 wage earners in 526 machine shops. Summary figures
for 1923 for 32,166 wage earners in 351 foundries and 58,914 wage
earners in 429 machine shops, and for 1925 for 40,393 wage earners
in 413 foundries and 86,274 wage earners in 511 machine shops are
shown in Table 1 by occupations in comparison with 1927 averages.
The 1923 figures were drawn from Bulletin No. 362 and those for
1925 from Bulletin No. 422.
Average full-time hours per week for males in foundries, for the
United States as a whole, were 52.4 in 1923, 51.5 in 1925, and 51.1
in 1927, and in machine shops were 50.8 in 1923, 50.4 in 1925, and
50.1 in 1927, thus showing a slight decrease in full-time hours each
year over the preceding 2-year period. The averages for males
are the same as for both sexes combined, due to the fact that in
foundries only 310 of the 32,166 employees covered in 1923, 478 of
the 40,393 employees covered in 1925, and 439 of the 38,943 employees
covered in 1927 were females, and that in machine shops only 408
of the 58,914 employees included in 1923,1,075 of the 86,274 employees
covered in 1925, and 1,470 of the 86,779 employees covered in 1927
were females. The average hours for females in foundries were 49.3
per week in 1923, and 49 in 1925 and 1927, and in machine shops
49.1 per week in 1923, 49.3 in 1925, and 48.9 in 1927. In 1927 the
average full-time hours per week by occupations for males in foundries
range from 49.9 for molders, hand, floor, to 52.6 for crane operators,
and those of females range from 48.4 for core makers to 50.6 for the
group designated as “ other employees.”

The above table shows that average earnings per hour and average
full-time earnings per week for machine shop wage earners in Ala­
bama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas are higher than the
average for foundry wage earners in these five States, which con­
dition is reversed in several of the Northern States, such as Indiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsyl­
vania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin.
The reason for the above difference is that in the five Southern
States many of the shops covered have few or no “ machine hands
and operators,” or specialists. As a rule all-round machinists
operate the various kinds of machines used in doing machine-shop
work and also do the fitting and assembling of the various parts of
machinery, or in repairing machinery, while in the northern industrial
States the machines are operated largely by “ machine hands and
operators” or specialists, practically all of them being competent to
operate only one of the various kinds of machines found in rep­
resentative machine shops, and most of them at a wage rate less
than that of machinists. An official of one of the machine shops in
one of the Southern States said: “ This company does not hire em­
ployees as machine hands and operators. That classification is
found in the large machine shops in the North and East. In this
State a machinist is an all-round hand, as the shops do general

SHOPS

repairing.” Another said: “ All machinists in our shop are firstclass mechanics, capable of operating, setting up, and repairing
machinery. We have no specialists.” The tables of this bulletin
show that while the total number of machine-shop wage earners
covered in the five Southern States are only 2.6 per cent of the total
covered in all States the machinists covered in the five States are
8.5 per cent of the total number of machinists covered in all States,
and that the average earnings per hour for the machinists covered
in the five Southern States are $0,766 compared with $0,728 for all
machinists in all States covered. Further, in the five Southern
States foundry wage earners include a very large percentage of
unskilled and semi-skilled help at rates much less than that paid for
the same class of work by the large foundries in the Northern and
Eastern States.
Average and classified earnings per hour are presented in Table 3
for the employees in 8 of the principal occupations in foundries, and
for those in 14 of the principal occupations in machine shops for
1923, 1925, and 1927, and for 1 occupation (pattern makers) in
machine shops for 1927 only. The figures are shown in detail for
each State for 1927 in Table B, page 53. These occupations were
selected as representative of all of the occupations in the industry.
They include unskilled, semiskilled, and skilled employees, and
represent 80 per cent of the wage earners in foundries and 66 per
cent of those in machine shops. The classification of employees in
the other occupations has not been made, because it would to a
great extent be merely a repetition of the spread or variation within
these principal occupations.
The average earnings per hour of employees in the various occu­
pations are shown in addition to the distribution and were computed
by dividing the combined earnings of all employees in the occu­
pation during the pay-roll period covered by the combined hours
worked.
Earnings per hour of employees in each occupation for which data
are shown were higher in 1925 than in 1923, and all show an increase
in 1927 over 1925 except laborers in machine shops. The increase
in some occupations in 1927 over 1925 is small and in others it is of
considerable importance. The increases range from 1 cent per hour
for laborers in foundries and 1.6 cents for machinists and toolmakers’
helpers in machine shops to 4.7 cents for female core makers in foun­
dries and 3.9 cents per hour for boring-mill hands and operators in
machine shops.

Table 4 shows average and classified full-time hours per week for
the employees in 8 of the principal occupations in foundries and in
14 of the principal occupations in machine shops for 1923, 1925, and
1927, according to the full-time hours per week. For pattern makers
in machine shops these figures are presented for 1927 only. The
figures are shown in detail for each State for 1927 in Table C, page 70.
The regular or customary full-time hours per week are the number
of hours that a foundry or machine shop under normal conditions is
in operation without taking into consideration the hours actually
worked by individual employees during the period covered.
Full-time weekly hours of employees in each of the 22 occupations
for which data are shown for the three years were less in 1925 and
1927 than in 1923. There was a slight increase in full-time hours in
1927 over 1925 in a few of the occupations.




and classified full-time hours per week in 8 specified occupations in foundries and 15 in machine shops, 1923, 1925,
and 1927, by sex

Table 5 shows the regular or customary full-time hours M onday
to Friday, Saturday, and per week, and also the number of estab­
lishments in each State at each specified number of full-time hours
per day and per week. In some establishments the full-time hours
of a few employees or occupations vary from the full-fime hours per
day or per week of the great majority of the employees in such estab­
lishments, but the prevailing hours of the greater number of employees
are presented in this table as the hours of the establishment as a
whole.
While the full-time hours per week are by far the best measure of
the customary hours of operation in a plant, they do not show the
variation in hours for each day in the week. For example, in some
plants the hours may be 8 per day for 6 days. In others the hours
may be 8% M onday to Friday and 434 on Saturday, or 8Yi hours
M onday to Friday and 5Yi hours on Saturday, or 8% hours M onday
to Friday and 5 hours on Saturday, and so on. In each case the full­
time hours per week are 48.
In order that the variation in the working time of employees in
the various plants may be clearly shown, a classification of establish­
ments according to their full-time or customary hours of operation
by day from M onday to Friday, on Saturday, and per week is pre­
sented in Table 5. The classification begins with the lowest and ends
with the highest number of hours per week. The customary hours
of labor of 68 of the 417 foundries covered in the study were less than
48 per week, of 119 were 48 per week, of 77 were 50 per week, of 76
were 54 per week, and of 14 w^ere 60 per week. The remaining 63
plants were between 48 and 60 per week. The hours in machine
shops ranged from 44 per week for 42 establishments to 60 per week
for 6 establishments. The hours of 107 machine shops were 48 per
week, of 170 were 50 per week, and of 46 were 54 per week.
As there is very little regular night work in the foundries and
machine shops, the hours of the table are for day work only.
The table also shows the 5-day week in 33 foundries and in 7
machine shops, there being no work in these establishments on
Saturday.

PAY FOR OVERTIME AND FOR SUNDAY AND HOLIDAYS
Overtime is ordinarily understood to be any time worked in excess
of the regular hours of labor per day or per week, but the overtime for
which provision is made by establishments for payment at a higher
rate than that paid for regular time varies considerably indifferent
plants. A large number of the plants covered in this study did not
pay any extra rate for overtime. In some plants the regular rate was
paid until a certain number of hours per day were worked in addition
to the customary hours of the plant. Example: The regular hours
of a plant were 8 per day and 48 per week, but the extra rate for over­
time was not paid except for time worked in excess of 9 hours per day
or 54 per week. The 1 hour of overtime per day in excess of the regu­
lar 8 hours was paid for at the regular rate. In some plants the extra
rate was paid to all employees, in others to employees in certain
occupations only. M ost of the plants that pay a higher rate for over­
time than for regular hours per day also provide for an extra rate for
work on Sunday and holidays. There is, however, very little work on
Sunday and holidays in this industry.
A t the time of the 1927 survey 244 of the 417 foundries and 404 of
the 526 machine shops covered paid all or a part of the employees
extra for overtime. Table 6 shows the number of establishments,
employees entitled, and the extra rates paid for overtime work.

BONUS SYSTEMS
Only 59 of the 417 foundries and 114 of the 526 machine shops
covered had bonus systems in effect at the time of the 1927 study.
The basis or kind of each bonus, the wage earners entitled to receive
the bonus, the amount of the bonus, and the conditions necessary in
order to receive the bonus are presented in Table 7.
In 44 of the 59 foundries and in 93 of the 114 machine shops a
“ production” or “ time saving” bonus was paid to part or all of the
employees whereby their earnings at regular rates were increased by
the addition of a specified amount for producing more work than a
specified standard of quantity in a stated period of time. Example:
A standard of 40 hours was set for the completion of a certain job or
piece of work. An employee completed the work in 30 hours, thereby
saving 10 hours. He was paid for Yi of the time saved, or for 35
hours instead of 30 hours at his hourly rate.
In 7 foundries and 7 machine shops an “ attendance” bonus was
paid to certain or all employees for full-time attendance on night
work during a given period of time, and for responding to fire alarms.
In 4 machine shops a “ service” bonus was paid to employees who
had been in the service of the company a specified period of time.
Example: An employee’s earnings at his regular rate were increased
1 per cent after one year of service, 2 per cent after 2 years, 3 per
cent after 3 years, and so on to 5 per cent after 5 years of continuous
service.
In one foundry and one machine shop a “ profit sharing” bonus
was paid to all employees whereby their earnings at regular rates
were increased by the addition of a specified per cent of such earnings.
The amount of the bonus was determined at the end of each year by
the profits of the company.
In two foundries a “ material saving” bonus was paid to firemen
for saving coal.
In addition to the above, “ production and attendance” bonuses
were paid in 1 foundry and 3 machine shops, “ service and attend­
ance” in 2 foundries and 3 machine shops, “ profit-sharing and
attendance” in 1 foundry and 1 machine shop, and “ production and
material saving” in 1 machine shop. Bonuses were paid in 1 foundry
and 1 machine shop for which basis or kind of bonus was not reported.

Table 8 shows the percentage distribution of employees in 8 of the
principal occupations in foundries and in 15 in machine shops, accord­
ing to the number of days on which they worked in one week. “ Days
w orked” as used in this table means the number of calendar days
or parts of days on which employees did some work. A full day or
any part of a day was counted as a day. The average number of
days worked by employees in the occupation is a simple average
obtained by dividing the aggregate number of days on which any
work was done by the total number of employees in the occupation.
The table shows that 51 per cent of the 3,857 chippers and rough
grinders worked on 6 days during the week covered, 30 per cent on
5 days, 12 per cent on 4 days, 3 per cent on 3 days, 2 per cent on 2
days, and 1 per cent on 1 day, and also that 1 per cent worked on 7
days during the week. The average for all was 5.2 days.

Index numbers of employment and of pay rolls in foundries and
machine shops and for machine tools (machine shops engaged in
making tools used in machine shops) are presented separately in
Table 9 for each month July, 1922, to August, 1928, and for each of
the years 1923 to 1927. The data as presented in all other tables of
this report for foundries and machine shops include machine tools.
Since the data as published by the bureau in monthly reports on

W A G E S AN D H O U RS— FO U N D R IE S AND M ACH IN E SHOPS

“ Employment in selected manufacturing industries” are collected
and compiled separately for machine tools, they are shown separately
in this table. These numbers were computed from the amount or
volume of employment and the amount of the pay rolls for each of
the months and years, with the 1923 average number of employees
and the 1923 average amount of pay rolls taken as the base, or 100
per cent.
During the period July, 1922, to August, 1928, the monthly volume
of employment index in foundries and machine shops was highest
(104.5) in July, 1923, and lowest (74.5) in September, 1924, and pay
rolls were highest (107.3) in June, 1923, and lowest (70) in September,
1922 and 1924. Index numbers by years were: Employment, 100 in
1923, 80.6 in 1924, 80.7 in 1925, 86.7 in 1926, and 81.3 in 1927; and
pay rolls were 100 in 1923, 78.8 in 1924, 81.8 in 1925, 90.3 in 1926,
and 83.5 in 1927.

IMPORTANCE OF FOUNDRIES AND MACHINE SHOPS
The importance of this industry may be judged from the fact that
nearly all, if not all, other industries depend upon the products of
foundries and machine shops for tools and machinery to carry on
their business.

OF FO U N D R IE S AND M ACH IN E SHOPS

The figures shown in Table 10 were taken from the United States
Census reports for 1914, 1919, 1921, 1923, and 1925. These figures
are shown under six different headings: Foundries and machine shops;
engines, steam, gas, and water; textile machinery; steam fittings, etc.;
machine tools; pumps (hand and power) and pumping equipment.
While these articles are practically all produced in foundries and
machine shops, the different groups have grown to such impor­
tance as to be treated separately by the census. Under these six
headings are shown for each of the five years, the number of establish­
ments, the cost of material, the value of products, the average number
of employees, the average number of wage earners, amounts paid to
wage earners, and the average per capita yearly earnings of wage
earners as computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A comparison of the figures for the five census years shows that the
number of employees for 1919 is greater than for either of the other
years, while the 1925 average per capita yearly earnings are greater

than for any other year. The conditions for the year 1919 were
abnormal. The demands upon the industry caused by the World War
were still in effect and were largely responsible for the unusual number
of employees, the large number of establishments, the high value of
the products, and the large sum paid to wage earners. While the
figures for 1919 are abnormally high, those for 1921 are abnormally
low. A period of great depression in the industry followed the census
for 1919, which extended into the census for 1921. The figures for
1923 show that the industry had by that time recovered from the
slump of 1921, and had entered upon a period of development more
nearly approximating natural or normal growth in the industry than
is shown by the figures for either 1919 or 1921. The figures for 1925,
compared with those for 1923, show decreases in number of estab­
lishments and of wage earners and in amount paid to wage earners, and
also an increase in the average per capita yearly earnings.
SCOPE AND METHOD
The figures presented in this bulletin are limited to wage earners
and cover all workers of this class, beginning with those who receive
the raw materials and supplies, including all who perform the various
operations of manufacture, and ending with those who pack or other­
wise prepare the product for shipment. Executive employees, clerks,
employees engaged in construction or repair of buildings, employees
in forge and boiler shops, and those whose duties were mainly super­
visory are excluded.
The 1927 study of the industry, like those of former years, covered a
representative group of establishments in each State where foundries
and machine shops are of material importance. On account of the
very large variety of products manufactured in machine shops, the
study was limited to those establishments in which the machinery
used was fairly comparable. The machine shops included in the
study are engaged in the machining and assembling of parts for and
the construction of engines; of textile, mining, laundry, woodworking,
excavating, road-building, hoisting, steel-mill, and rolling-mill ma­
chinery; of ice, brick, rubber, shoe, and sugar-making machinery; of
cotton gins, elevators, conveyors, pumps, printing presses, and ma­
chine tools (machines used in machine shops), etc. A number of
machine shops which were engaged in repair work are also included.
While the machines used in the establishments included in the study
vary in type and size with the product manufactured, the operations
are essentially the same. No machine shops were included whose
principal product was agricultural implements, automobiles or auto­
mobile parts, electric dynamos, motors, magnets, or other electrical
units, locomotive railroad cars or car wheels, cash registers, calculating
machines, typewriters, sewing machines, hardware, stoves or stove
equipment
The foundries included were mainly engaged in casting parts for
the same class of products as those made in the machine shops covered
in the study. In a large number of cases data were obtained from
one company or plant for both a foundry and a machine shop. No
forge or boiler shop was included if it was operated as a separate
unit.
The study covered 417 foundries and 526 machine shops located in
28 States. In selecting establishments from which to obtain data the

The actual number of plants and of wage earners covered in both
foundries and machine shops in each State in 1927 are shown in
Table 11. For comparison the figures as reported by the United
States Census of Manufactures for 1925, the latest year for which
figures are available, are also shown. The table shows that 95 per
cent of the wage earners employed in foundries and machine shops
are located in the 28 States covered by the bureau and that data for
22 per cent of them are shown in this report.
The data included in the 1927 study were taken by agents of the
bureau for practically all establishments directly from the pay rolls,
time-clock cards, and other records of the establishments for a repre­
sentative pay period in each of the years covered. A few establish­
ments prepared data for the bureau from their records. A very large
proportion of the establishments covered in 1927 were also included
in 1923 and 1925. Data were taken for only part of the total number
of wage earners in a few very large establishments, as the inclusion
of all of them would have tended to impair the representative averages
for the States in which these establishments are located. A very
large per cent of the establishments included in the report pays
employees every week compared with a small per cent that pays
every two weeks, and very small per cent that pays twice each month.
Data for those that pay every two weeks or half month were so taken
as to make it possible to present figures for one week for wage earners



32

SHOPS

in all establishments. Approximately 90 per cent of the 1927 data
are for a pay roll period in June, July, August, or September. The
averages, therefore, are fairly representative of wage conditions in
those months.
GENERAL TABLES
In addition to the text tables already shown five general tables,
which show the data in considerable detail, are presented as follows,
T a b l e A.— Average number of days on which employees worked:
average full-time and actual hours and earnings per week, average
earnings per hour, and per cent of full time worked, 1927, by occupa­
tion, sex, and State.
This table shows for each occupation and State all of the various
averages which have been computed from the data collected in 1927.
These are the averages of the days on which employees actually
worked in one week, of full-time hours per week, of hours actually
worked in one week, of earnings per hour, and of full-time and of
actual earnings in one week.
The presentation in this table in parallel columns of “ Average
full-time hours per w eek” and “ Average hours actually worked in
one w eek” is for the purpose of easy comparison of the hours that
would have been worked in one week had all employees in the occupa­
tion worked no more nor less than full time with the average hours
actually worked in the week. One shows the full-time hours per
week under normal conditions, while the other shows the hours
actually worked in one week by all employees in the occupation.
Tables B, C, D , and E are distribution tables and are limited to
23 principal occupations— 8 in foundries and 15 in machine shops.
T a b l e B.— Average and classified earnings per hour in 23 specified
occupations, 1927, by sex and State.
T a b l e C.— Average and classified full-time hours per week in 23
specified occupations, 1927, by sex and State.
T a b l e D .— Average and classified hours actually worked in one
week by employees in 23 specified occupations, 1927, by sex and State.
T a b l e E.— Average and classified actual earnings in one week of
employees in 23 specified occupations, 1927, by sex and State.

DESCRIPTION OF FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP
OCCUPATIONS
FOUNDRY
Chippers and rough grinders cut or chip projecting points from the castings,
using hammer and cold chisel or pneumatic chisel, or a rough-grinding machine.
Core makers make cores of sand and a liquid binder and possibly other sub­
stances, using a mold or core box to shape the cores. Cores are used in molds
to make hollows in castings.
Crane operators operate power cranes used in moving molds, castings, ladles,
etc., about the foundry.
Cupola tenders attend the cupola in which pig iron, scrap, or steel is melted,
tap or open the cupola, and run the melted metal into ladles.
Laborers are common unskilled workers who carry cores, fill and empty ovens,
attend fires, cut core wire, etc., in core-making room; assist the craneman; assist
the cupola tender as stockers, chargers, firemen, and cleaners; assist the molder
in handling sand and flasks; move castings; knock off sprues or gates from cast­
ings; clean castings by tumbling, or pickling; and do any other common un­
skilled work.
Molders make the molds for castings and pour melted metal from ladles into
the molds. The molds are hollow impressions made in sand or loam by packing
such sand around patterns and cores. The molder then removes the pattern
and the sand retains its hollow shape without the support of the pattern. The
molds are made in boxes or flasks. Cores are placed in the molds by the molders
when hollow castings are to be made. Figures are shown in this report for three
classes of molders, namely:
Molders, hand, bench, work by hand making small-sized molds.
Molders, hand, floor, work by hand on the floor of the foundry making
larger-sized molds.
Molders, machine, use machines in making molds.
Molders’ helpers, floor, help the floor molders in making molds.
Pattern makers make the patterns which are models constructed of wood or
metal.
Rough carpenters make flasks for molds and do general rough repair work, or
assist pattern makers.
Sand blasters use a sand-blast apparatus to clean the sand and scale from the
surface of castings.
Other employees include all other skilled or semiskilled workers not properly
included in any occupation above.
MACHINE SHOP
Assemblers assemble or bring together the various small parts, pieces, or units
of which a machine or engine consists and fasten them together with nuts, bolts,
and screws, thereby forming larger units or a complete final unit. The dis­
tinction between assemblers and fitters is that the assemblers do little or no
filing, scraping, or other fitting.
Blacksmiths are skilled workers who shape light or medium-sized forgings and
do general anvil work, using forge, anvil, and hammer.
Blacksmiths’ helpers are persons of some degree of skill who assist blacksmiths
and tool dressers in their work.
Machine hands and operators.— The word “ machine” here technically means
machine tool, which is any power-driven machine used in metal working. Hands
and operators as used in connection with a machine are persons (a) who set up
and operate that one particular machine, or (b) who operate that machine but
do not set it up. There are so many degrees of proficiency between these two
classes and they are so difficult of satisfactory separation that they are com­
bined as machine hands and operators. These employees generally are not

120



APPENDIX

121

machinists as they do not do* the many kinds of work that can be done by a
machinist. As a rule they are trained in the use of only one machine. An
employee who worked on two or more machines during the pay period was
classed as a machinist, provided he was an all-round machinist; otherwise he
was classed as a machine hand and operator on the machine on which he worked
the greater time.
Separate figures are given for machine hands and operators on certain of the
more commonly used machines, namely, boring mill, drill press, grinding, lathe,
milling, planer, screw buffer, and polisher; also a group of sheet-metal workers
who operate punch presses, shears, and bending, flanging, and rolling machines.
The machine hands and operators on less frequently used machines, as gear
cutter, shaper, broacher, hobber, slotter, threader, automatic and special lathes,
etc., are put in one group designated as “ other precision machine hands and
operators.”
Crane operators. (See under Foundry.)
Fitters and bench hands.— Fitters do necessary chipping, filing, scraping, and
reaming of machine parts to make correct mechanical adjustments in connection
with fitting such parts together. Bench hands do similar work on parts to make
them of proper shape and measurement but do not put the parts together.
Laborers truck or carry material about the shop or yard; give unskilled assist­
ance to other employees; load and unload furnaces; do sand blasting; load and
unload cars; sweep; rub machines; and do any other common unskilled work.
Machinists are persons who (a) repair or adjust one or more kinds of machines
used in a machine shop; (6) set one or more kinds of automatic or semiautomatic
machines without operating them; (c) set up and operate at least most of the
kinds of machines usually found in machine shops. Each of these three groups
may also do bench work or fitting. A man may have been qualified as an all­
round machinist, but if he was actually employed as a machine hand during the
pay period taken he is so classified in this study. In highly specialized shops
few employees were found who could be properly classed as machinists. A man
who both set up and operated only one machine or a man who operated one or
even several machines but did not also set them up was classed as a machine
hand and operator.
Machinists7 and toolmakers1 helpers are persons of some degree of skill who
assist machinists and toolmakers in their work.
Packers and craters prepare and pack articles for shipment.
Pattern makers. (See under Foundry.)
Toolmakers are skilled men who make and repair tools, jigs, dies, and gauges.
Other skilled occupations.— This group includes all skilled workers not covered
in other occupations. They are all put in this one class because no one occu­
pation includes a sufficient number to warrant a separate tabulation. Some of
the more important occupations in this group are in the forge shop and in the
heat-treating department, as follows:
Hammersmiths set up dies and operate drop, steam, or Bradley hammers in
the making of forgings, assisted by helpers who operate the furnace or forge and
assist on the operation of the hammer.
Straighteners straighten castings or forgings by machine or by hand with a
hammer.
Switchboard operators watch the temperature of the various furnaces in the
heat-treating department as recorded by the switchboard and signal the furnace
tender when temperature is too high or too low.
Furnace tenders regulate the temperature, open and close the furnace and
supervise the loading of the furnace by laborers (furnace tenders’ helpers and
packers) with parts to be treated. In plants having no switchboard operator
the furnace tender watches the switchboard.
Annealers, hardeners, and case hardeners operate small furnaces used in
annealing or hardening small parts.
Also included in this group are inspectors of stock or of work, layers-out,
markers, millwrights, pattern makers for machine work, sheet-metal workers,
welders, and other skilled workers not elsewhere provided for.
Other employees include such semiskilled persons as are not provided for
elsewhere.
