"Chronocyclograph" of a Golf Champion - [11' 10" x 5' 11" banner]

Kheel Center photo id # 6126PB1F4B -- [quote from banner] - The image was taken for Frank B. Gilbreth, famed early twentieth century pioneer of industrial time-and-motion studies. The chronocyclograph technique consisted of placing small lights on dynamic points of the skilled-demonstrator's body then photographing the repeated motions of the activity to be analyzed. When filmed with a timed exposure, the key motions executed in the course of repeated processes can be seen in overlapping light paths. This image is part of a collection of historical photographs that support scholarship in the early efforts to analyze and improve industrial work processes, an activity that is still fundamental today in setting manufacturing production goals and performance standards.
