Papers, 1914-1934.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122516082

Werle's papers cover his career as an industrial engineer between 1917 and 1931 with emphasis on his employment at Cooley & Marvin, Bigelow, Kent, Willard & Co., and Watsontown Door & Sash. The papers include correspondence, reports and work papers, mostly connected with time studies. There are numerous examples of the standard forms, cards and tags used to control reporting and the routing of materials in factories. The "staff letters", circulars and brochures of both the Cooley and Bigelow firms give an excellent picture of the internal workings of consulting engineering firms involved in varieties of scientific management and plant rationalization. The papers also include resumes, college transcripts and other personal information. There is also a copy of a paper by Charles E. Bedaux describing the Bedaux-point system of industrial efficiency. A file on the possible purchase of a Texas grapefruit farm contains brochures of development companies in the lower Rio Grande Valley, and another on the house Werle purchased in suburban Yeadon contains brochures on suburban residential developments of the late 1920s.
