Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

8 APPLIED MOTION STUDY are being thrown upon their own resources for both materials and men, and are being forced to make discoveries that will more nearly equalise these resources. Another outcome of this war, that should prove of advantage to the world, is the emphasis that is being laid upon the causes of industrial posi- tion and industrial supremacy and the resulting study that is being made as to the reasons for such supremacy. Such a study should be par- ticularly profitable here in America. This coun- try has always “ conceded ” her important indus- trial position. She has realised thoroughly her enormous natural resources and also her wonder- ful human resources in that she is “ the melting pot of the nations.” It is only within the life- time of those still young among us that we have come to realise the necessity of conserving our natural resources. It has not yet reached the attention of many among us that our human re- sources are as worthy, in fact, infinitely more worthy, of being conserved. It is self-evident, then, that to attain and main- tain an industrial position of which she may be proud, America must conserve both her natural
