When a lad starts at the tinworks he’ll first shift the cold rolls, then move as positions come up. Maybe, before he’s thirty and with drive, he’ll have pushed his way on to be a shortar earning 7 shillings, 6c a day. It’s similar with the women. They’ll be driven, bit by bit, to open plates and to earn 2 shillings or half a crown a day.
