those of the association to the men who

ehinery was briefly discussed, and then
Charles T.. Wilson's report on testing
and recording instruments was read by
MI Kopke, Mr.. Wilson not being pres

were that, ''the utility Of recording in,
sJTuments lies not alone in the fact
that they keep a record of operating
conditions at the different stations OF
the factory, but in the moral effect on
the man or men whose work they re.
cord; the fact that an absolute check
Is being kept on their work every min

the mark. In this connection, it Is
generally conceded that the best point

where the man or men whose work il

Some Economics Made
'tThe most generally used instru.
ments are the live steam and exhaust
steam recorders; several mills have

temperature recorders on pans and
eyaporators. At the Hilo Sugar Com
pany's mill they claim to have reduced
the time lost between the dropping OF
strike, and the starting of another ia

per cent, due 10 the fact that they put
vacuum and temperature recorders on
them, and,
