Transcript

We had a very good name in those days, in Leicester, and we were chosen to sort of introduce it. Mr Charles Bedaux persuaded our boards of directors that it was something they thought to be innovation for Wolsey because it was a modern thing, that would improve production, and the idea was that the operator had a man standing there with a pad and a stopwatch and timing all the movements she did in a day.
