Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

FOR THE CRIPPLED SOLDIER 137 a. The variables of the worker. Ö. The variables of the surroundings, equipment and tools. c. The variables of the motions. In adapting motion study to the crippled sol- diers’ problem, we are considering these same three groups. We realise that our problem is twofold in its aspect. It consists of d. Determining the type of work that the particu- lar worker can best do. e. Determining that method by which he can best be taught to do the work. The teaching element is more important in this new phase of adequate placement than it lias ever been before, because in every case a new or changed worker must be made useful, self-sup- porting and interested. That he become and remain interested implies the highest form of teaching and of learning. The first step in adequate placement through motion study lies in visualising the motions used, or necessary, in any given type of work. The simultaneous motion cycle chart is a device for recording and showing the interrelation of the
