Three Weeks In One War Worker Sets 120 Hour Week Record
Ray Wood of Springfield Massachusetts claims a national record by working 120 hours in one week while grinding parts for Army small arms. Officials from War Production Board support the claim and note the previous record was 112 hours. Wood, a machinist at Package Machinery, volunteered for an emergency precision grinding job, working 17 hours daily for five days and 17.5 hours for each of the two remaining days. The Army received the parts on time, but pay details were not disclosed. The piece argues a 40 hour week is inadequate for wartime needs and urges consideration of longer hours for war industries.
