ABSTRACT
This study of the social creativeness of autonomous work groups is based on observation and interviews at the coal face and on an analysis of reports and records covering the life of the two double-unit Manley panels described in Chapter XIV. Each consisted of 80-yd faces east and west of a mothergate. They were both advancing northward from the same trunk road and were adjacent, No. I Panel being to the west of No. 2. Despite their proximity, they developed on rather different lines.
