FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS.
The registers which had been in use for reports of workshops,
etc., were found not to be satisfactory, and after careful
consideration it was decided to adopt a card system on which the
information with respect to workshops could be more easily kept
and become more accessible.
A separate card is used for each workshop "and space is left
for the necessary particulars, the reverse being used for reinspections.
Cards are also used for factories, workplaces,
domestic workshops, outworkers' premises, and milkshops.
