Scope and Contents
Professional papers consist primarily of fragmentary examples of work measurement and job analysis materials used in various manufacturing companies. The documents reflect Hall's effort to apply scientific management principles to practical activities.
Work measurement materials include tags, job instructions, data and miscellaneous notes and diagrams for the Tabor Mfg. Company (1912-1919), the Clinton Wire Cloth Company (1917), Lamson and Sessions Company (1926), and Strouse Brothers Inc. (1920); a contract for the Keppele Hall Contracting Company, Dayton, Ohio (1894-1913); and drafts and copies of the Articles of Federation of the National Industrial Federation of Clothing Manufacturers (1919). The papers also reflect Hall's association with Frederick Taylor's colleagues, Richard A. Feiss and Sanford E. Thompson.
