Women before the war, to be sure, took part in factory life where such [Pg 9]commodities as textiles, clothing, food, household goods, &c., were produced, but by consensus of opinion-feminine as well as masculine-her presence in Engineering Works, save on mere routine work, or on a few delicate processes, was considered in the pre-war period as unsuitable and undesirable.
. . .I remember, at the beginning of a course of training for women, how an instructor at a large metropolitan Centre remarked that 'ninety-nine per cent. of the new students do not know what accuracy means', and he detailed how difficult it was to instil into their mind 'that quintessence of their work'.
. . .One manager notes how the trained women from the Schools were able 'to become producers almost at once' another states that the drafting of the women students from School to factory has enabled the work of munitions to be carried on 'with greater expedition than would otherwise have been the case', and yet another, with a scarcely concealed note of astonishment, relates that his students were able to be engaged at once on 'all kinds of machinery, capstan lathes, turning lathes, milling and wheel cutting machinery'.
This discovery of the employer, of the potentialities of women's work in the engineering trades, soon led to a development of the instruction of female students in the Training Centres; more advanced machine work was added to the curriculum, as well as tuition in aeroplane woodwork and construction, in core-making and moulding, in draughtsmanship and electrical work
