Abstract

Standing beside a machine for clocking in workers, Simon Schaffer discusses the rise of factory or industrial time. People are now paid by their time, rather than the task. The clock becomes a symbol of factory society and unites the workers with their machines. A huge difference from other societies and earlier history.
