MOTION STUDY
On the other hand, clothing designed and specially
adapted to the work that the worker has to do may in-
crease output to a surprising extent.
Not till the advantages have been appreciated of having
working clothes made the subject of study from the motion-
economy standpoint will manufacturers provide the gar-
ments needed. But they are only too anxious to meet
every demand as soon as they are conscious of it. Once
let the specialized clothes for the worker be standardized
and they will be placed immediately upon the market in
inexpensive, durable, and attractive shape.
As for their reception by the worker, as soon as he
realizes that they increase his efficiency, and are a badge
of specialization and not of servitude, he will be ready and
glad to welcome them.
Color
The stimulating effect of color upon workers is a subject
to be investigated by psychologists. The results of their
study should be of great benefit, especially to indoor work-
ers. Motions could undoubtedly be made simpler by the
proper selection of the color of painting and lighting in
the workroom.
In our work we have to deal chiefly with color as a
saver of motions. Color can be seen quicker than shape.
Therefore, distinguishing things by their color is quicker
than distinguishing them by the printing on them.
