This is the "first take" on a sociology research project in Salford, England in 1974 . The Firefighters were interviewed using questionnaire and tape recorded as they anwered the questions .Individul questionnaires were then leter filled in , or transcribed from the tape recorded interviews : there was a completed questionnaire for each fireman . The idea was to get more participation from the respondents than a questionnaire only approach could provide . This "first take" submission of my M.Sc. thesis . It has a cleaner feel to it that the final version submitted in 1977. This is partly because I kept "tweaking" the final version even after submission . This version is probably easier to read because I left the typed manuscript largely as it came back to me from the typist: I did fewer handwritten alterations compared to the final version . Overall I do not know which of the two version is best : so both are included for "completeness"
