Industry Adopts the Motion Picture Camera

Although the study of motion is not new, the application of the motion picture camera to this study provides an important tool by means of which the study is today being widely applied in industry. The purpose of motion study is to first record the actual motions involved in any particular industrial operation, second, to furnish a means for analyzing these motions; and third, to furnish an opportunity for eliminating or revising the motions so as to develop the one best way of accomplishing the desired results. The value to industry of such a study is pointed out, together with the fact that the application of the motion picture camera to such work may be quite an important by-product of motion picture engineering activities.
