Dear L.P.

Production runs need Attitude.

Having an attitude to detail. Use production run time as a tuning fork =
to refine your powers of observation. Look for the variations and =
similarities as you work. Bring your sights in on the mean. Don=92t =
think tumblers, think Efficiency.

Having an attitude to quantity. What is your boredom limit. Mine is =
about six repetitions. Do it the seventh time and I make a blue. Prepare =
and weight six balls. So Throw six bodies. Start another six. In an hour =
you have another twenty four. Take a break. Start the next half dozen =
and an hour later you have another twenty four. Have a coffee. Start =
again on the next half dozen and so on. By the end of the morning you =
have a hundred. Job well under way. All the hard collar work finished. =
Tomorrow will be an easy day

Have an attitude to organisation. Having a plan. Rationing Time. Ready =
to put the handles on. Ready to trim. Never repeat any task more than =
six times.

I know how to drive that time and motion study man into a dither. Do it =
all in slow motion. Every action perfect. Every part identical. That's =
Attitude.

Hoping you get lots of repeat orders.

All the best,

Ivor Lewis.
