52 hour week = 8.6 hours a day for 6 days. Henry was running 3 shifts of 8 hours a day. The extra .6 could have been meal and a break. They probably had workers that stepped in to keep the line running while others were eating. His $5 a day could have included the meal & break - it wasn't an hourly wage. Or you were required to arrive/depart 20 minutes early/late so you had time to get from the time clock to your work station so Henry got his full 8 hours.
