* J had worked steadily on part 3, indicating a time of 24 minutes per part, or roughly 30 minutes each. He has had time to do at least 5 parts since I noted his arrival. To be fair, the machine I operate goes twice as fast as J's, so he should have only finished half the amount of work that I did. He managed maybe a quarter.
