The printer’s job is an illustration of a sort of work which 
is composed of a number of routine jobs and at the same 
time calls for the use of judgment. The United States Army 
has developed a number of excellent educational manuals 
for the training of technicians. These manuals describe in 
great detail the different job operations and are the best 
examples of complete work analyses of the sort the investi- 
gator should aim to make. (Such a job analysis, when 
made, may also serve as a basis for a training manual.) The 
following quotation from Educational Manual No. 18, Print- 
ing—Hand Composition (142) describes one of the routine 
duties of the printer.
