Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

70 APPLIED MOTION STUDY one exposure to the next. In this way we get a continuous record of the operation. There have been occasional objections to all methods of mak- ing time and motion studies that involve the pres- ence of an observer. Some of these have come from those working on what they consider their own secret processes, who object to having any observer record what they are doing, believing that the time study man is obtaining knowledge of their skill and giving them no information in return. Others have come from those who have seen or heard “ secret time study ” and “ watch- book time study,” and who regard all observers as spies because of general lack of understanding and co-operation; and there are some instances where they are right. For such cases we have designed an automicromotion study, which con- sists of an instantaneous modification of the standard micromotion apparatus, and also the autostereochronocyclegraph apparatus. This en- ables the operator to take accurate time study of himself. He can start the apparatus going and stop it from where he works, with one motion of his finger or foot. This invention supplies every possible requirement and feature for time and
