Muffle that machine!

Abstract

“SILENCE is golden” is an old Swiss saying which, in today's industrial conditions, can be literally true. The manager who takes the trouble to see that his employees work in reasonably quiet surroundings is almost certainly improving production‐line efficiency and therefore improving his company's earnings. At the same time, he is guarding the health of his employees, which is not only good in itself, but is also a long‐term insurance against absenteeism through ill health and accidents.
