A Tireless Turbine at Ivry and Shifts in Labor
A Laval turbine in a gas factory near Paris ran for 3600 hours without stopping, lubricated by an automlia oiler and oil replenished every 12 hours. The rotating disk’s edge moved about six miles per minute, implying a travel distance in 150 days exceeding five times the Earth to Moon span. The piece also notes hiring trends: lighter workers under 150 pounds were discharged, those over 90 pounds but not tall enough were kept from streetcar duties, and concerns loom that ages 25 to 35 of medium build may dominate future work.
