Here everything affecting the interests of women workers was discussed with representatives of the Company and the foremistresses; on the very first agenda was an item 'brewing', which put works tea-making at once into its rightful place of importance. This organization, still one of the few all-women committees in the industry, has done much to promote goodwill and cooperation and thus keep up productive efficiency.

At the same time the employment aspect of women's supervision was developed. A more thorough system of interview and selection tended to ensure that the right woman found the right job, close contact with the departments and more complete records improved the transfer and promotion system, and advice on individual problems was made easily available.

The opportunities for women as professional engineers were underlined in 1920, when Miss Gertrude Entwisle, who had joined motor department in 1915 as the only woman on the technical staff of the Company, became the first woman Associate Member of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. Miss Entwisle, now a plant engineer, has been a pioneer for woman's place in the engineering industry. Her career has been closely paralleled by that of Miss Dorothy Smith of the motor engineering department, and they have been followed by many others who hold and have held responsible positions in the design departments, drawing offices, and research laboratories. Close on a dozen women have had a regular apprenticeship training.
