Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

140 APPLIED MOTION STUDY new sequences, cycles and methods of doing any type of work. Thus many types of work that have been formerly considered possible only for the man in complete possession of all his members and faculties can be adapted to the maimed or crippled worker. The chart shows in a concrete form which members and faculties of the asso- ciated units or working members of the human body are doing the work, are inefficiently occu- pied, or are available for doing parts or all of the work. They enable us to see at a glance not only how motions are at the present being made, but the possibilities of shifting these motions to other members of the worker’s body. In other words, when using these charts for the crippled soldiers’ work we are enabled to proceed im- mediately and directly to the more efficient re- arrangement, distribution and assignment of the necessary motions to the different remaining members. The data included in these charts are gathered through various methods of making motion studies, especially by the use of the micromotion method and the chronocyclegraph method of re- cording motion in the research laboratory.
