Document Summary
Class 7 (in the year of our ford) movie. Frank gilbreth made over 250000 years of film in his life. Clock used to calibrate filming (after the fact), because there"s no steadiness for the motion of the film in the machine. Introduced scaffolding to get bricks closer to the wall, creating quicker movement. Bricklaying reduced to fewer, simpler motions (ie 18 to 5) Superimposed white grid allows you to analyze motion. Assigned numbers of each doctor and nurse, use of a grid. Developed cycle graphs (lights on fingers allowed you to follow the lights, not hands) Us army called upon private companies because they had exprience in managing large-scale organizations and operations. They were the type of clients taylor targetted. Private companies call upon their own experts (like gilbreth) Private companies had experience the us didn"t have. After war, people who were wounded, amputed, etc.
