Abel's spanking blog & stories
Browsing for an image of factory girls for my previous post, I chose one from the Daily Mail. It wasn’t the only archive photograph there that, ahem, worked for me.
Let me introduce you to this group of young women, working in one of the first typing pools in London in 1909.

See the supervisor on the right-hand side? She’s checking a document that’s just been typed. Any errors will be circled in red ink; the girl will be called forward. The tawse is in the top left-hand drawer of the desk; a stroke on each hand is the going tariff, and then the document will be thrown into the wastebin and the typist sent to produce a fresh copy.
That, too, will be checked. Any errors this time will be punished with two strokes per hand. Should the girl have to re-type it a third time, she’ll know (as she types, hands trembling and sore) that any mistakes will result in a trip to the manager’s office and the shame of a bare-bottomed caning.

If I was the owner of this office each typist girl who erred in her work that day, would be sent to my office at the end that day, for an explanation of her errors. One mistake would cost her ‘six of the best’, with the cane on her bare bottom. Two mistakes ‘twelve of the best’, and so on. Yes the female supervisor, would also have to adhere to this plan, but her punishment would be much more severe.
