Quota system, английский
- This british naval recruitment scheme, introduced in 1795, required local authorities to provide a fixed number of (supposedly) prime seamen, for which they received a bounty of between ?20 and ?60 a head, much of which they “earned” by rounding up vagabonds and emptying the jails of felons. such untrained men (known as “scrovies”) could holystone decks, haul ropes, and manhandle guns, but were useless for handling sails and working the ship. see also impressment.
