Biographical/ Historial note:
Frederick Winslow Taylor made two outstanding discoveries which profoundly influenced the course of human affairs. His discovery, with Maunsel White, of the Taylor-White Process for treating tool steel revolutionized metal cutting techniques and paved the way for mass production methods. For their discovery the two men were awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal by the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvannia in 1902. Taylor also received an award at the Exposition Universelle Internationale, held in Paris in 1900, "For His High Speed Cutting Tools Made by the Taylor-White Process." Both medals in the the collection.
An indication of the practical result obtained form the use of this tool steel came from Taylor himself who wrote from Bethlehem early in 1900, that, "in our large machine shop we have increased the speed of the main lines of shafting from 90 revolutions per minute to 250 revolutions pre minute, and in addition to this wer are...increasing the speed of the pulleys on the counter shaft." All this, however, he considered only a segment of this larger and more direct contribution to human welfare through the discovery of the Principles of Scientific Management. The collection contains many interesting notes and calculations in Taylor's own handwriting which trace the history of these two great discoveries.
IN 1906, Taylor presented his epoch-making paper, "On the Art if Cutting Metals," beore the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as his presidential address. Is was the rsult of twent-six years of experiementation during which time more than 800,000 pounds of steel and iron were cut up into chips with expereimental tools. Some 30,000 to 50,000 recorded experiments were carried out, in addition to many others not recorded. Taylor estimated the cost of these experiments at between $150,000 and $200,000. He further states that they were undertaken, "to obtain a part of the information necessary to establish in a machine shop our system of management, "and were designed to answer three recurring questions: 1) What tool shall I use? 2) What cutting speed shall I use? 3) What feed shall I use?
As the answers to these questions were ascertained, Carl O. Barth, the Norwegian mathematician and Taylor's close associate during most of the experiments, reduced the information to mathematical formulas for slide rules. Among his early models were a Complete Feed and Speed Slide Rule for the Bethlemen Steel Company's Lathe No. 43.
During his early shop experience Taylor observed that much of the blame for low production and inefficiency rested with management. Thus, as a fellow worker, his attention was first attracted to the problem of improving working conditions and raising the standard of living of the individual workman. This ideal was always before him. Among his papers are many vivid reminders of his courageous unwavering struggle to bring about better understanding and a closer working relationship between the employee and his employer. It is a record of outstanding success and of heartbreaking failure.
In addition to his book, "On the Art of Cutting Metals," taylor wrote several other books and papers, most of them widely translated. His private library, given to Stevens Institute of Technology in 1949, conatins, with one or two exceptions, a compelte set of the translations which were made during his lifetime, as well as a number of those made after his death. Among his better known works are: "Notes on Belting," 1893; "A Piece-Rate System," 1895; "Shop Management," 1903; "On the Art of Cutting Metals," 1906; and 'The Principles of Scientific Managment," 1911. He and Sanford E. Thompson were joint authors of, "Concrete Plain and Reinforced," which was published in 1906.
Taylor correspondedd with a number of the eminent rilen of his day. Amond them was Henry Le Chatelier, the world renowned French metallurgist who championed the cause of Scientific Management in France. Although the two men corresponded for a number of years before htey actually met, a warm personal friendship sprang up between them early in their association. Their letters reflect a mutual esteem which grew with the years.
Taylor was keenly interested in ducation and took an active part in the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, now the American Society for Engineering Education. His contention that adequate colleg training should include a year in an industrial enterprise was considered radical but this did not alter his opinion which was probably a rfelction of his own experience.
While the exact number of Taylor's patents is in some doubt, there are forty-six in the Collection, some of them held jointly with other patentees. They cover such a widely diversified interests as an "Apparatus for Moving Growing Trees and the Like"; a revolutionary "Power Hammer," built for Midvale Steel Company in 1888-89; and his famous two-handed golf putter, shaped like the letter Y.
Although not a natural athlete, Taylor won the doubles championship of the United States Lawn Tennis Association with his cousin, C.M. Clark, in 1882. In later life he turned his attention to golf and the number of trophies in the Collection attest to his skill.
Interest in golf inititiated the well known grass experiements at Boxly, the Taylor home in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania. The object of the experiements was to make a putting green which would not be entirely dependent on natural rainfall but would tap the reserves of water below the surface of the soil. This fascinating story is detailed in a sereies of articles, "The Making of a Putting Green," published in Country Life in American in 1915.

Provenance
In 1933, Stevens Institute of Technology held a Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration of the graduation of Frederick Winslow Taylor. At that time his family, friends and associates presented personal mementos, books, documents and graphic material to Stevens in his memory. It was an important occasion to which many close friends and associates came to honor him. At that time a room in the Lieb Memorial building was set aside for the Taylor Collection. Upon the death of Dr. Taylor's widow in 1949, his sons, Dr. Kempton P.A. Taylor and Mr. Robert P.A. Taylor, presented the remaining Taylor papers and his private library to Stevens. It was their wish that this valuable collection of original material should be available for research.
