These premises are supervised by Mr. F. H. Hudson, the Senior
of the Inspectors, and by Inspector Miss Reymond— the former inspecting
premises where men are employed and the latter those where
women and girls are working.
In some cases, owing to the introduction of machinery, former
"workshops"have become "factories."In certain instances they
are automatically converted, at a very small cost, by the installation
of a small electric motor. When such premises become "factories "
the health conditions pass under the supervision of H.M. Inspector
of Factories except so far as sanitary accommodation is concerned.
