Stopwatch

Lives were not always dominated by the clock -- until Frederick Winslow Taylor brought his stopwatch on the shop floor and started timing how long it took to do each part of a job. Taylor's stopwatch eventually revolutionized the American workplace, and his ideas about efficiency continue to shape modern lives. The program profiles the man who thought everything should run like clockwork, but who was also quirky, a cross-dressed who spent the last years of life in ignominy, studying the growth of grass.
