T H E principle of open-mindedness that is characteristic of most American
industries has been responsible for much of their success. The
spirit of co-operation that manifested itself during the great war was
a contributing factor to its victorious end. Team work is indispensable to
industrial success. It is as essential in peace as in war.
There is no limit to the credit that should be given to the various technical
and scientific organizations of the country for their part in building up
our great industrial system. Almost without exception, their meetings are
open to all who may care to attend, where executives and laymen meet on
common ground to discuss the numerous problems encountered in every
phase of industry.
Not only are technical and scientific problems brought up for discussion,
but also such items as cost accounting and production efficiency. The closest
attempt to determine costs and to map out efficiency methods without an
attempt to determine costs and to map out efficiency mehods without an
intimate knowledge of the limitations of the available materials, plant and
mechanical equipment would hardly be considered good judgment.
Co-operation is a pre-eminent factor in the successful administration of
industrial activities and dispels antagonism. An industry divided against
itself cannot prosper. In dissension there is weakness.
Industry's need is for real teamwork in the free exchange of technical
information and in the common effort to advance the industry by improving
the quality of the product. There is sound logic in this doctrine and the
forging industry is no exception.
