TAYLOR, Frederick Winslow (1856-1915). The Principles of Scientific Management . New York & London: Harper & Brothers, 1911. 8 o (223 x 151 mm). Original red cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover and spine (some minor soiling, some light wear at corners and spine ends). FIRST TRADE EDITION published after the rare privately issued first edition. Taylor's "scientific management" was effectively the practice of time and motion studies of the working day, with the intention of streamlining the production process. Taylor studied not only factory conditions and working methods, but also machinery and tools, and he designed a new method of tempering tool steel which enabled quicker metal-cutting. PMM 403.
