CARPENTER DRIVING NAIL
Number of Blows with Hammer
Accurately Ascertained by
Disturbed Man.

How many hammer strokes does .
carpenter use in driving nail?
Perhaps not one carpenter in a
thousand or one laymen in ten times
that number can tell. or ever thinks
Of it, says the Chicago Tribune The
truth Of the matter is this: The car
penter takes seven strokes in driving
nail into ordinary wood and II
regular strokes and two finishing
strokes in driving nails into hardwood.
These figures are furnished by a
man who works at night. and sleeps
or tries to sleep-by day. and whose
bedroom window opens out upon fiat
building in course Of erection. He fig-
ured the average number Of hammer
strokes for nine mornings, and, having
learned them. moved to a hotel until
the new building is completed.
He discovered that the carpenter
drives an average Of three nails a min.
ute in soft wood and fraction under
three in hard wood. At this rate he
would drive lao nails day in soft
wood. if he keeps up the gait steadily,
and 1.2S2 in hard wood. He would give
-0.080 hammer strokes in soft wood
and 20.160 in hard wood.
