Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

94> APPLIED MOTION STUDY soldiers, in whose interests they are at present engaged, with the collaboration of educators in Canada, England, France, Germany and Russia, in collecting data. The engineers of this coun- try have been asked, through the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers, to collect and send in all data available, that they may, by the use of this Simultaneous Motion Cycle chart and the models, be made available for teaching the most profitable motions to the crippled soldiers of all the warring countries abroad. Important as the work for the crippled soldiers is, it is, as has been indicated, only a part of the conservation work that must be done. The other part, the conservation of all humanity to make good the great present loss, should be undertaken by a body like this Congress. No matter what work is done by the individual, or by individual plants, or trade groups, or industries, or even by a whole country, to cut down waste by stand- ardising motions, there will be an enormous loss unless all nations co-operate in making and main- taining standards.
