Question

An anonymous IP has raised the following concern on my talk page. It has nothing to do with me, as the only time I've ever even touched this article in my life was a routine maintenance task that had nothing whatsoever to do with the content, so I'm moving it here so that somebody more knowledgeable about the topic can look into their concerns to determine whether they have a valid point or not.

Paragraph that must be mistaken, quoted below: '10,000 marbles made per day' can not be correct. If each worker were making $5.00 per day @ .70 cents, per 1,000 they made 7,142 marbles. @ .60 cents; 8,333, at .50; 10,000 marbles.

They worked in pairs, Gather and cutter so, if 20 sets of 2 Made five dollars each on average of .60 per 1,000 they made 83,333 marbles in 1 day. If, in the whole group of 33 people, excluding other than Gather and Cutter employees then the factory likely made more than 100,000 per day. 2.5- 3,000,000 per month.

"Heinzelman was paid 70 cents per 1000 marbles, which was 20 cents more than the average worker for similar performance at that time. By 1910, up to 10,000 marbles were being rolled per day by 33 employees. Each employee, working 10 hours per day would make $5 for the day as a result. This was considered a good wage for the day." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.163.214.5 (talk) 00:57, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
