Summer experiences in the test department of the General Electric Company

Having waded through the requisite amount of red tape which is always present when starting work with any of the big companies, I finally got established with the testing department of the General Electric Company on June 24, 1907. After being asked most of my past history and whom to inform in case of accident, I was told by Mr. Crane that I would find my check on the “night board”, and I knew then that I was to have the grand privilege of working “nights,” which continued throughout the summer.
