chine. Later on natural photographs reproduce a complete view of the time-study. The times employed are shown on a clock which appears in the photograph. Some perturbations are registered in the course of the time-study so as to show how the employee intent on the study must act in such circumstances. An Experimental Film on the study of Labour and Working Time : This film was taken by way of experiment for the use of employees assigned to time-study. The different stages of very simple work (the manufacture of small brake valves) are illustrated by means of scenes from life. The whole process of the work is then shown in chronological order. A clock is photographed contemporaneously with the work on such a big scale that it may be consulted while the film is being turned. Office Organization : This film gives us a brief introduction to the so-called Hinz System and illustrates how an order received by a firm is carried out. The numbers of the customers' cards and registration in the card indexes is here shown, according to the system of « mechanical geography ». Then all the entries necessary to the execution of the order made according to the copying system are shown. Modern Production : This Film gives a succinct picture of modern serial production : the storing of the raw material, the smith-shop, the foundry, manufacturing works, turnery works, drilling, planing, polishing and checking. Experimental Film on Time-Study : This is another experimental film for the use of employees assigned to time-study. It illustrates a complete cycle of work; namely, the manufacture of a hinge, its design and drilling. A clock is photographed at the same time on such a big scale as to be easily consulted while watching the film. This film lends itself particularly to demonstrating how accurately time studies may be carried out by workers. The photographs were taken under the auspices of the Germans State Railways. Film to measure Labour Speed : This film is intended for measuring the subjective appraisement of the proper working-speed of employees assigned to time study. It consists of 15 scenes, all showing the same working cycle, namely a brief filing job and revolution counting. Each scene is preceded by a progressively numbered caption with certain numerical indications. It is arranged for each of the film scenes to be projected at a different speed. The length of the intermediate titles is so fixed that the insertion of new projection speeds may be m.ade without difficulty. The speed With which the 485
