I.  COMPTOMETER  OPERATORS’  SERIES

b.  25.
c.  13  b.
d.  10.
e.  26.
f.  27.
2.  Pro-rating:  The  formula  in  use  for  operators  who  have  had
training  in  both  adding  and  extending  is:
.10  X  r8  +  .10  X  ri5  +  -io  X  ri3b  +  .20  X  rio  +  -25  X
r26  +  -25  X  r27  =  R.
Division  is  comparatively  little  used.  Where  it  is  required, ­
  an  appropriate  test  is  included.  Where  operators
with  special  experience  in  adding  or  in  extending  alone  are
required,  the  more  important  test  is  valued  at  40%  the
less  at  10%.  Where  operators  who  are  just  out  of  school
and  who  have  not  yet  acquired  speed  are  desired,  the  proportional ­
  value  given  to  the  tests  shall  be  .10,  .15,  .10,  .30,
.20,  and  .15  respectively.
3.  Standards:  Above  .70  to  be  recommended;  .60  to  .70  to  be
recommended  for  a  trial.
