Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

THE EFFECT UPON THE WORKERS 207 ment, and the surroundings. I have found that, since seeing a motion, as represented by a model, I am better able to concentrate first on the motion itself, and then upon the variables which affect the motion. This seems to me a more logical method, and I know that I have had better results. «I believe a good method of illustrating how a motion model helps one to visualise is to compare it with the wake left by an ocean liner. When one stands at the stern of a liner, which changes its course often, and watches the wake he can visualise the ^changes more readily than when unable to see the wake.” It is interesting to note here not only the in- terest aroused intensively in the subject of mo- tion study itself, but also extensively in the corre- lation of processes in the industries with general processes outside. The motion study man is a specialist who, because of his work, spends a large amount of time in the close study of motions, but to some extent this intensive and extensive in- terest is aroused in all those engaged in motion study, whether as observers or ob- served. After the results of motion study are actually installed the effects are as great or greater upon those who work under the derived standards. It must be understood that motion study always im-
