FORM C. 

 Time book and Report of Work in the Machine Shop, for April, 1874+ 



JOHN SMITH, at $2.<x> per day c/8 hours. 



Form C, which is a combination in form as well as in name, 

 was in use at the National Armory during my service there. Its 

 great advantage over form B is the greater space it affords for 

 inserting the names of employments upon which the workman 

 has been engaged. It also permits the use of a smaller time 

 unit, and consequently of a more exact definition of its record ; 

 for in form B the small space allotted for a description of the 

 work, and the need of re-writing it every day tends naturally to 

 the consolidation of entries ; whereas in form C an entry once 

 made stands good for the whole month, provided that the workman 

 always calls the same work by the same name. 



Leaving out of consideration form A, we find both B and C 

 open to the following objections : 



I. The workman has to remember so suddenly all the jobs he 

 has worked on during the day, that he is very apt to make mis- 

 takes by lumping different jobs under one head ; or by calling 

 the same work by different names, or different work by the same 

 name on different days.
