I was hired by the US Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks right out of engineering school. I was rotated to various offices to learn the totality of the organization.
I had asked to work with construction project managers in response to the request of what I would like.
Believe it or don’t but one of the sections I visited was in fact an office with numerous engineers who were “Project Managers”. They managed the various construction and maintenance projects submitted to Congress for approval and funding.
Each PM had a lengthy and wide spread sheet containing all the line items under his responsibility. He also had a typewriter with a very wide carriage onto which were typed all the pertinent data on a single line item. The paper on which the typing occurred had perforated strips one line wide that could be typed and then pasted as a revised line item on his master sheet. The data was more or less constantly changing as the project planning developed.
That is, the data was typed, then cut, and then pasted over the data on the specific line item.
The strip was coated with rubber cement to attach it. There was always an excess that squeezed out. When dry, a ball of the rubber cement rolled over the excess, neatly and cleanly picked it up.
A measurement of status was the size of the rubber ball that was used to clean up the squeezed out rubber cement.
