Discussion on "Mechanical aids for collection of production data" at the Birmingham Section of the Institution

MR. J. A. HANNAY said that when it was first suggested that the Section should have a lecture of this sort, the committee came to the conclusion that it would be very interesting if they could get Mr. Nash to speak to them and describe some of these machines. During the last five years, some of the machines had been installed in Birmingham, and without giving away any secrets, he could say that an installation capable of turning out 150 chassis per week had increased its capacity to 1,500 per week without the clerical staff being increased, except for a few girls using punches, in addition to about £7,000 worth of machines.
