Detailed notes, 1964, by the late Professor T.J. Jenkin, Aberystwyth, on the subject of a typical work day in days gone by and as a response to the Welsh Folk Museum Answer Book on the subect.

Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum to individuals across Wales as a way of collecting and documenting information on aspects of folk culture in their areas, including agriculture, crafts, food, customs and dialects. The responses were hand-written in the books. The Answer Books had a similar purpose to the earlier questionnaires sent out in 1937.
