The Western Electric Company was a subsidiary of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company. The firm manufactured a wide variety of telephone equipment at its Hawthorne Works in Chicago, Illinois. A notable series of worker efficiency experiments known as the Hawthorne Studies were staged at the plant between 1924 and 1933.

The Hawthorne Plant of the Western Electric Company in Hawthorne, Illinois (near Chicago), manufactured electrical components, such as relays for telephones.

Western Electric and the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences began the Hawthorne Study in 1924. Dugald C. Jackson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology supervised the first phase, known as the Illumination Experiments, from 1924 to1927. These experiments attempted to determine the relationship between light levels and worker efficiency. The data compiled by the Illumination Experiments indicated only a minor correlation between light levels and worker productivity. The National Research Council researchers concluded that a variety of factors must affect industrial output. They also suggested that, as too many variables were involved, it was not possible to draw meaningful conclusions from studies conducted in regular shop settings or with large groups. The National Research Council withdrew from the study in 1927, but researchers from the Harvard Business School (then the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration) soon became Western Electric's new collaborators in the study.

Led by Elton Mayo of the Department of Industrial Research, the Harvard Business School team expanded the scope of the investigation at Hawthorne. The studies would attempt to discover relationships between physical working conditions, industrial productivity, and such additional variables as worker morale, home life, upbringing, diet, and other habits.

With Western Electric, the Harvard Business School team established the Relay Assembly Test Room (RATR). The RATR consisted of a small group of female employees isolated from other workers in a separate room with an observer and a tape-punching device set up to measure the number of relays each operator put together in a given period of time. The operators (assembly workers) were offered wage incentives to encourage them to produce at a high level. The daily output of each operator was recorded on 120 inches of tape. The uniform speed at which the tape advanced allowed for the measurement of variations in daily output. Each operator was assigned a number to preserve confidentiality, but the researchers inconsistently assigned the numbers. Other records produced in the RATR included Log Sheets (daily chronological records maintained by the observer, regarding an operator's activities, the type of relays assembled, etc.) and Daily History Records (recording changes introduced, remarks made, and questions that investigators asked themselves about observations or developments). Records of physical examinations and of eating habits were also produced. The RATR study lasted from 1927 to 1932 and was divided into thirteen periods. During each period, major changes in working conditions were introduced and the resulting behaviors and performance were observed and measured.

In addition to the RATR, investigators briefly organized a second Relay Assembly Group to test the effects of introducing wage incentives without any other changes. A Mica Splitting Test Room was also established to study the effect of changing working conditions without adding wage incentives.

The Interviewing Program at Hawthorne collected information about employee attitudes. Its goal was identifying the right conditions for improved productivity. Between 1928 and 1930, the research team interviewed about 21,000 employees of the Hawthorne Plant under guarantees of confidentiality. Interviewing methodology changed in the middle of the program, after interviewers discovered that interviewees gave more useful information about themselves and their jobs when allowed to speak about whatever came to mind (instead of being directed in their responses by prepared questions).

The Bank Wiring Observation Room was established to supplement information derived from the interviewing program with observations about interviewees' behavior on the job. The test group was separated from the regular work force, but otherwise worked under standard conditions. An observer stayed in the test room with the workers while they worked, and an interviewer recorded their attitudes, thoughts, and feelings when they were off the job.

The Western Electric Company discontinued the study in 1933. The research suggested to management that previous assumptions about improving productivity through changes in wage incentives, hours of work, lighting, or other easily identifiable factors were naïve and unfounded. To improve productivity, Western Electric’s management began to look at the total situation. The study clearly revealed to management that workers’ latent energy and productivity could be tapped under the right conditions. The researchers who helped design and implement the experiment, as well as many later scholars, however, continued to analyze the data and reconsider the study’s findings.

The bulk of the correspondence is for the years 1875-1900 and deals with Painter's numerous business interests. This material is also largely routine, but it represents a variety of industrial enterprises. Among the companies are: The Edison Speaking Phonograph Co., American Graphophone Co., Western Union Telegraph Co., New York, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk Railroad Co., Pennsylvania Railroad, Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Co., Union Pacific Railroad Co., Edison Electric Light Co., Edison General Electric Co., Western Electric Co., General Incandescent Arc Light Co., and Interior Conduit and Insulation Co.. The correspondents include: Thomas A. Edison, Thomas T. Eckerts, President of Western Union Telegraph Co., and Grenville M. Dodge, President of the Colorado and Texas Railway Construction Co.. The correspondence includes letterbooks dealing with the New York, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk Railroad Co.; Edward H. Johnson letterbooks of the Edison Company for Isolated Lighting; and business letterbooks of William Painter, Uriah Painter's brother. The collection also contains the business records of two Painter enterprises: Edison Speaking Phonograph Co., 1878-1880 (25 v.), -- including letterbooks, account books, and other material, with letters to and from Thomas Edison; and Danville Furnace, Danville, PA, 1879-1884 (21 v., 200 items), -- including correspondence, receipted bills, other accounts, and records.

Correspondence, 1907-1945.

Resource

Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education (U.S.). Correspondence, 1907-1945.

Title: Correspondence, 1907-1945.

The correspondence of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education consists largely of letters between Dugald Jackson, Gerard Swope, and Karl Compton documenting their efforts to shape the curriculum at major engineering schools. The society was particularly interested in encouraging engineering schools to teach courses which focused on the business and economic aspects of engineering. Jackson and Compton appear to have been concerned with separating the engineering schools from the liberal arts colleges which they viewed as being overly concerned with abstractions and lacking constructive approaches to industrial problems. The correspondence also documents the society's efforts to develop standards for professional ethics, raise funds for scholarships and fellowships for needy students, and develop library collections. The files contain a good deal of information about the Engineering department at M.I.T.--its structure, curriculum, funding sources, and relationships with industry.

Ricker, Norman Hurd. Autobiography, vol. I, 1966.

Title: Autobiography, vol. I, 1966.

The autobiography spans the years 1896-1933 and covers Ricker's family background; the family's interest in education and associations with Reynold College; Ricker's own early education and science interests; the inauguration of Rice Institute (later Rice University) and his own enrollment there in 1912; his undergraduate and graduate studies at Rice, his teachers, courses, and Ph.D. in physics in 1920 (as the first physics Ph.D. at Rice). Ricker also discusses his reasons for joining industry and his employment at Western Electric Company in New York in 1921, where he invented the paper cone loudspeaker, and his return to Texas in 1923. The greater part of the autobiography deals with Ricker's work and inventions in the oil industry between the years 1924-1933: prospecting of oil deposits seismographically for the Humble Oil Company where he created a geophysical department, and later electrically for General Exploration Company (1927-1928). The last part of the manuscript deals with oil production, inventions and construction of oil field equipment and documents his association with the Hughes Tool Company (1928-1933) where he developed the plunger lift with Harold Fletcher, and describes the installation of the simplified single string pneumatic swab for Gulf Refining Company in 1931. The autobiography includes photographs and copies of patents.

United States of America v. American Telephone & Telegraph, et al: legal documents, 1974-1982.

Title: United States of America v. American Telephone & Telegraph, et al: legal documents, 1974-1982.

Key documents and selected testimony in antitrust action. This set consists of photocopied typescripts of documents and testimony presented at this milestone case, which resulted in the breakup of America's largest technology-based corporation. It also resulted in the severance of direct institutional ties between the American telecommunications network and the country's most prestigious science research institution in the private sector, namely, the Bell Laboratories' Research Division. Ths testimony identifies the justifications and consequences of these steps and provides a wealth of information on the nature, size and scope of the American telecommunications industry and the impact of Bells System integration on the progress and strength of American science, technology and industry. In the technological and scientific areas, much information is presented on research and development activities, primarily at Bell Laboratories, in the physics and applications of semiconductors, microelectronics, telecommunications and lasers; the structure and organization of Bell Labs and the nature and importance of innovation in the private sector are important themes in the context of these topics. Expert testimony is presented by important leaders in American science and industry, many with ties to Stanford University, including David Packard, Arthur Schawlow, Charles Townes, Nathan Rosenburg and David Teece.

Title: Japanese American Community in Indiana 2003-2005

This collection of interviews examines the experiences of Japanese Americans in the Indianapolis area.

In particular, the interviewees detail the work of political and social organizations like the Japan America Society and Japanese American Citizens League. These groups' activities combined the fostering of traditional Japanese cultural forms like art, language, and dancing in the United States with political work like the Redress Movement to confront the experience of internment for many Japanese Americans during World War II.
