Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

124 APPLIED MOTION STUDY The motion model makes it possible actually to see the path that the motion traverses. It makes it possible to see this path from all angles. This was not possible with the chronocyclegraph, for, even where many chronocyclegraphs were made, the sum total of them only represented viewing the motion from the specific number of angles. The motion model can be viewed from all directions, from above, from below, and from all sides. A further importance of this in the industries is seen in the effect of the motion model upon the inven- tion and redesigning of machinery to conform to least wasteful motions. The necessary limitations of shop conditions, machine operations, etc., make it often impossible to obtain a chronocyclegraph from more than one direction. Here we have all such, limitations for viewing the motion removed. The motion model thus immediately educates its user by enabling him to see something that he has never before seen. The motion model also teaches its user to make more intelligent use of chronocyclegraphs and cyclegraphs. These take on a new meaning when one has actually seen and used their correspond- ing models. In point of fact, a constant use of
