Productivity and Labor Discipline in the Montgolfier Paper Mill, 1780–1805
研究18世纪法国最大造纸厂之一蒙戈尔菲耶厂的生产节奏，发现尽管管理者抱怨工人不可靠，但产量记录显示在没有先进机器或蒸汽动力的情况下，生产率保持稳定。
The daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms of production in the Montgolfier paper mill, one of the largest in eighteenth-century France, are examined here. Based on the comments of pioneer manufacturers, historians have been led to believe that early industrial work was irregular and unpredictable. The Montgolfiers as well complained of undependable workers. Yet their own output registers reveal a pattern of regular productivity unaided by advanced machinery or steam power.
