...bonus was earned. The rest of the melon-made up of increased value through productivity savings-was split; labor got a whopping 75%, management 25%. The first month's bonus, paid in September 1954, amounted to $43,199, a 13.8% wage increase. In January, the pen and pencil industry's seasonal low point, the workers failed to earn a bonus, but it was the only month they missed (payments from the reserve pool are made only at year's end). They earned a peak 27.1% over their wages in September...

He uses the largest sheets of watercolor paper he can get, sometimes pastes four together. Starting with a light pencil sketch, he lays in his flat, thick colors layer on layer, while keeping the contours crisp. Burra's end results generally have the sharp complexity of cactus, and the effect of an unpleasant, totally unexpected laugh sounding from below the cellar stairs...
...results were conclusive. The X rays showed that the paint in the National Gallery's Francia did not have the heavy amounts of lead carbonate usual in most Renaissance paintings. Infra-red exposure for half a minute revealed black pencil lines under the paint (unknown in Francia's works). More important the pencil sketch was not in Francia's style.
