Woman Designs R.A.F.
Planes for the
To look at, nothing seem less capable of pro- duction by unskilled la- bour or by women than a high-powered aeroplane cutting through the sky at fantastic speeds. Can women workers be used for the production of a thing so powerful, so com- plicated and yet so delic- ate? Are they so used, and are they a success?
To find an answer to these questions I sought an interview with Mrs Miles, the only woman director of a plane-build- ing factory in Britain, and herself a remarkable example of abilities and talents not generally ex- pected in a woman. Mrs Miles herself designed the "Sparrowhawk" and has for many years taken her full share of responsibility in the management of the Phillips and Powis Air- craft Company Ltd., of which both she and her husband are directors. This, by the way, has grown from the compara- tively small beginnings of a concern intended mainly for the luxury production of planes for the use of private owners to the enormous dimensions of a factory "all out" on war work.
Beyond-Praise-
"There are two things, said Mrs Miles, "which stand out, above every- thing else in this question of using women for highly technical work. The first is the girls and women themselves. They are be- yond praise. Even the grumpiest foreman, full of prejudices against in- novations, has to admit their willingness, their keenness and their general intelligence. The second is that the whole difference between success and. failure depends on the in- genuity with which the work is broken up.'
"What does 'breaking up' mean?"
"It means dividing the work into a lot of simple operations. Imagine any par. ticular job you like which a qualified engineer completes by himself. Dealing with un- trained people, you divide it. up into us many as, perhaps, twenty, thirty or forty different ensy stages. You entrust your beginners with only the first one .and that, mind you, must be so carefully thought-out that any unskilled person of ordinary Intelligence can perform IE Let them do it and go on do ing it. That gives them con- Adence. Next, you promote the best of your beginners to operation Number Two, while the remainder stay to help more newcomers to get into. the way of Number One. Gradually you thus build up a number of operatives who perform through the medium of dozens of minor operations. the same work which" quall- fled engineers used to do sing- ly. Now, what plonges us particularly is that our wo-.. men workers are so quick in
learning to carry out their particular part of the whole process with precision and speed, that the combined out- put of any given team is 8007 equal to that of the same num- ber of fully skilled engineers handling the job in the single- handed fashion of the old days.
"So successful in this system that the time is fast approach- ing when an aeroplane may be entirely-woman-produced.
"At present the percentage of female labour used varies with the nature of the work, but there are certain parts of it which are even now carried out exclusively by women."

ness, "At one early stage of our sub-divided programme of production" said Mrs Miles, "we had made our plans and obtained materials for a full two months' output of a par- ticular
component before starting our beginners on a given item of work. Such a programme is not drawn up hastily. It is fully calculated, checked
and cross-checked
in every possible way. Well, our women workers improved so quickly and were so keen that they sailed through the whole of our two months' sup ply of raw materials in exact- ly four working weeks, and we had the greatest difficulty in getting more in time. There's keenness for you!"
