MOTION MODELS 125 the motion model is a great help in visualising a motion path without a chronocyclegraph. Of course, such visualising cannot compare with the chronocyclegraph record, though it is often suf- ficient as a stimulus to motion economy and to invention. The motion model is also of use in that it enables one to teach the path of the motion. It makes it tangible. It makes the learner re- alise the problem of transportation involved. This has the byproduct of impressing the user with the value of motions. It is extremely dif- ficult to demonstrate to the average person the reality and value, and especially the money value, of an intangible thing. The motion model makes this value apparent and impressive. It makes tangible the fact that time is money, and that an unnecessary motion is money lost forever. The motion model is of peculiar value to its maker. The process of observing chronocycle- graphs and then bending the wire accordingly is not only excellent training in accurate observa- tion, but impresses the maker, as probably noth- ing else could, with the importance of motions. He comes to be extremely interested in the sig- nificance of every curve and bend and twist and
