Weigh And Wrap
When the Weston Biscuit Company installed an automated biscuit-making plant, it wasn’t long before they followed with automated packing. In the 8.8.C.’s World Service programme "Science and Industry,” Denis Desoutter described the effects: “The work that was done by 16 women is now done by two. They supervise a set of packing machines which weigh out the correct quantity of biscuits, whatever their size, before wrapping them up. “One of these machines weighs and wraps small packets of biscuits at the rate of one every second—and that’s just about as quick as you can say *weigh and wrap, weigh and wrap, weigh and wrap’ and it keeps it up all day long.”
