Abstract
This incomplete discussion upon the systematic collection and use of unit costs for ordinary estimating purposes has been compiled partly from memoranda issued from time to time within the past four years by the author to the members of the hull Estimating and Planning Staff at certain Navy Yards, as a part of their instruction and training. On account of the satisfactory results obtained by the use of these notes, incomplete as they are, I have been persuaded rather than to wait several years longer for more complete data from which to prepare a scientific discussion of the problems of the average estimator, to venture at this time to contribute my mite to the cause of standardization of labor. I do this in the belief that my efforts will be supported and far surpassed by many others of kindred faith, and that at some distant day the art of Estimating the Cost of all classes of work will approach becoming a science.
