§.2.

Book Printery Owners who wish to appoint a Foreman for the oversight of work have the freedom to select, at legally specified intervals, from among their Apprentices or others in whom they have the greatest trust. Such an appointed Foreman should present himself at the next Society meeting to be recorded in the Minutes. At that time, they are required to deposit with the Society Treasury the sum of three (3) Daler Silvermynt and in this way all the frivolity usually conducted upon the installation of a Foreman is strictly prohibited in the same manner and under the same penalties as stipulated in article VII, §5.

§.3.

The Foreman’s duties consist of maintaining proper order in all aspects of the workplace, ensuring that the work is properly carried out, and taking care of what is being printed or has been printed. He must supervise the Apprentices and Trainees to ensure they complete their tasks on time, as well as ensure that typefaces and printing presses, along with other tools, are properly cared for and not damaged due to neglect. Lastly, they are responsible for keeping accounts
