| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The putting-out
system was a means of subcontracting work. It was also known as the
workshop system. In putting-out, work was contracted by a central agent
to subcontractors who completed the work in their own facilities,
usually their own homes. It was used in the English textile industry, in
small farms, and lock making trades as late as the 19th century.
Historian David A. Hounshell writes: In 1854, the British obtained their
military small arms through a system of contracting with private
manufacturers located principally in the Birmingham and London areas ...
Although significant variation occurred, almost all of the contractors
manufactured parts or fitted them through a highly decentralized,
putting-out process using small workshops and highly skilled labor. |
