Steam made this【C7】______ and changed working life forever.【C8】______ were the days when work was【C9】______ by natural forces: steam engines were servant【C10】______ neither season nor sunshine.

The clocking-on machine was【C12】______ in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only【C13】______ twenty years later.【C14】______ it was not all bad news. Agricultural incomes depended on variable harvests and weather. Factories provided【C15】______ and predictable income, but long hours.
