Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

FOR THE CRIPPLED SOLDIER 141 records of methods are made with special devices, microchronometer and the cinematograph, and also with the chronocyclegraph apparatus. The former type of records record the activity of the worker, the surroundings, equipment and tools, and also the time of the motions used. The lat- ter records show the directions, speeds and paths of the motions. The records serve not only as data for the simultaneous motion cycle chart, but also as the most efficient of teaching devices. From the chronocyclegraph records are made mo- tion models that not only make it possible for teacher and learner to visualise the desired mo- tions from all viewpoints, but that also serve as path guides in case the worker taught is of the motor type. Until recently, it has been considered good enough practice in the industries to teach the traditional or existing method of a successful workman. Through the methods and measuring devices of precision used in the motion study lab- oratory we are now able to record with exact- ness and in detail the methods of the most skilled workmen. By the use of the scientific method of analysis, measurement and synthesis we arrive
