Modern Methods In Textile Mills by Eugene Szepesi. This work surveys the transformation of the textile industry from early mills to modern plants shaped by scientific management and systemic planning. Szepesi contrasts the legacy of Jacquard's invention with contemporary automation, arguing that modern mills blend advanced machinery with disciplined organization, safety, and humane working conditions. Through essays and vignettes, including the 'George' and 'Dispatching Clerk' characters, he illustrates how routing and planning replace memory-based task handling, and how lighting, layout, and routine controls impact productivity and reliability. The text covers causes and effects of poor design, the Eyes of the Worker emphasizing the primacy of illumination in eyesight and output, and case studies on night work, emergencies, and accidents such as Stubby Jim. Throughout, Szepesi advocates thoughtful investment in light, guards, and training as essential to efficiency. The concluding notes highlight lighting improvements offered by Westinghouse as a practical example.
