[ My first Job.]

I went back to the mill after my lunch and had to meet the spinning master, when I met him he said I may join the mill next day and told me to come at 7:00 AM and report to mill spinning master. What the heck I thought, are there two spinning masters, was what I thought.

The mill or any mill the shift spinning supervisor has to report 5 to 15 minutes early than the appointed time. I reported early and the mill spinning master was sitting in the wrapping room, he said Oh you have come, so you know how to take charge I am sending a chap he will take you to the person who will hand over the charge and you can carry on.

I went with the chap who was sent by the mill spinning master, met the out going spinning supervisor with whom we both went to all departments as we discussed few things the people saw me and understood that I was the new supervisor. All the shifts had a shift jobber who was in control of all the spinning dept workers only. That was the set up. As a supervisor I had learnt from my previous mills that we had to see the production and there was no other important work. I sat near the weight recording machine and went on looking at the production of each machine being weighed. Noted some points saw the register where there was a record of the full 8 hour productions took some notes and left the place. I then went from place to place and saw the most modern spinning machines installed in a special building. I had never seen it though I knew it while I saw them in pictures in the previous mill textile magazines which were kept in the main office which was kept for guests. I spent hours looking at the machines imported from JAPAN which eliminated a section of the workers of one department fully including the machines. It was the innovation not a revolution though, of the century in Textile Industry in world.

I continued working in this mill.
