120 APPLIED MOTION STUDY. 5. It having been shown that fast motions are different from slow motions, it becomes self-evi- dent that, in accordance with the laws of habit formation, the learner must be taught the stand- ard speed of motions from the first day. If he is not, he will not form properly the habit of using the forces that lie in his own body under his own control, of which he is usually at present unaware. It must not be understood that stand- ard speed means always high speed. It does not. It means that rate of speed that will produce the desired results most efficiently. It must be re- membered that there are a few motions that can- not be made at the standard speed at first by the beginner. In such cases the speed should be as near as possible that used by the expert. 6. The records of quantity and quality of out- put that are made simultaneously with the chro- nocyclegraph records demonstrate that right mo- tions at the right speed produce the desired qual- ity. This is, also, demonstrable through logic. The first thing to be standardised is the quality of the resulting product desired. The standard method is then made to be that method of per- forming the work that will produce this quality
