This method, being essen-tially a foremans one, will be worked to best advantage if fairly largecharts are used and the co-ordinates and abscissae so arranged as toaccentuate sharply any departure from a horizontal line. The accom-panying charts are all so plotted, and in this sense may be regarded asexaggerated—a pardonable fault when considering that the purpose isthat of graphic representation and its chief aim to direct attention au-tomatically to departures from normal working. In conclusion I must state that the data included in this article areof a representative rather than an actual INTENSIFIED PRODUCTION AND INDUSTRIAL INVESTMENT. By William D. Ennis. Mr. Enniss central idea is that a true theory of production must comprehend every factorfrom the time plans for the works are undertaken till the product reaches the consumer. Hisarticle is particularly interesting in its recognition of the variables which should, and must,modify the decision upon particular items, sometimes apparently running counter to the gen-eral policy of intensification.—The Editors.
