The idea was tried, Mr.. Purdy said,
after he had made n psychological
study OF conditions under which
his night force worked. He found
men working away from the gem
cral noises of the day as a rule
showed low morale. inclined to
be morose and generally worried
at being away from their families.
which resulted in absence of en-
thusiasm in their work
AS an experiment "A phonoEra.ph
was Installed and records which it
was thought would rest the nerves
and enliven the spirits of the en-
ployes were tried nightly with
gratifying results. Mr.. Purdy said.
although he was careful to explain
that no jazz" was played until the
fag end of/the night. rs he did
not want the men juggling ana
tossing about letters and parcels"
Everybody was more alert, he said.
and at quitting time went home
