Mrs. Marion Budd, wife of Mr. Clarence Budd, instructor in eleetricity al tiic Kamehameha Boys School, in a recent interview disclosed that she had, while working for the Douglas Aircra'ft Company in California, lessencd tI«J time required in testing fittings whieh go to the assembly llne. Thc department in whieh Mra. Budd was employed waa c»lled the Receiving Inspection department, where a 100 per ,cent finBl eheek and teit was made on all fittings to be- sure that there were no flaws before being sent to the assembly lines.

. Mrs. Budd improved a particuinr gauge that had a little handle and adjusting apparatus on one side, with the gauge of threads to test the work on the other, Mrs. Budd, Kaving just completed a task employing both hands, conceived the idea that instead of testing one fitting using one hand at a time, two hands could itoe used to test two fittings.

The Leadman, who always welcomes suggestvons to speed up production, was consulted and the idea tried out. Speeds attained in tests with both gauges were taken and the Budd idea proved to save as mueh as 30 per cent time when a worker first started to use this new gauge with the worker gaining skill and saving more and more time as she eontinued to use the apparatus.

Mrs. Budd worked at Dougl-as for 6 months as inspector, where 50 per cent of all Douglas planes āre made by women. She npw resides with her husband in the apartment of Liholiho Hall on the Campus of the Kāmēhameha School.
