After analyzing the job, and determining the shortest time required to do each of the elementary operations of which it was composed, and then summing up the total, the writer became convinced that it was possible to turn ten pieces a day.

In addition to sub-division of time as above set forth, it is the duty of the timekeeper to report the number of barrels of cement mixed in a day, which is usually done by the man in charge of the mixer counting the empty bags, and in addition the actual volume of concrete measured in place. From this, knowing the proportions, it is a very simple matter to obtain the amount of sand and stone used and also to see if the right amount of cement is being used.
