THE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT.

One of the sub-departments of the Processing Division is that of Inspection. It is recognized as exceedingly poor business method to allow a defective product to go any farther in the processing of product than is possible. Particularly damaging is the effect where a defective article is allowed to reach the consumer. This not only hurts trade, but the expense is much greater when defective pieces are not noted at the time when they can be remade at little expense. The best methods provides for automatic inspection, either by one employee checking the work for another, or by means of searching tests. Where employees do checking, it is customary to have either a skilled inspector who judges the work or to have one employee check the work of another, this latter to be rechecked by a general inspector. Penalties are provided, which will, by their enforcement, automatically cause all possible care to be taken in the work.
