Keppele Hall was an engineer, contractor, management theorist, superintendent of planning
for Joseph & Feiss Company, and member of the National Board of Labor Managers. As
a management consultant, he oversaw the implementation of management systems according
to the principles enunciated by proponents of scientific management.
Professional papers consist primarily of fragmentary examples of work measurement
and job analysis materials used in various manufacturing companies. The documents
reflect Hall's effort to apply scientific management principles to practical activities.
Work measurement materials include tags, job instructions, data and miscellaneous
notes and diagrams for the Tabor Mfg. Company (1912-1919), the Clinton Wire Cloth
Company (1917), Lamson and Sessions Company (1926), and Strouse Brothers Inc. (1920);
a contract for the Keppele Hall Contracting Company, Dayton, Ohio (1894-1913); and
drafts and copies of the Articles of Federation of the National Industrial Federation
of Clothing Manufacturers (1919). The papers also reflect Hall's association with
Frederick Taylor's colleagues, Richard A. Feiss and Sanford E. Thompson.
