This was used in checking up designs of typewriters as to the location and kind of carriage return hook, showing that the chronocyclegraph applied to machine movements as well as to hand movements, and that no hand movements can be made correctly without due consideration of the machine design.16180 Motion Studies of typists in our laboratory.

Note the absence of movement on the light on her head and the small amount of the light on the right elbow. This also is not only instructive in typing but it is also interesting in the subject of machine design and shows beyond the possibility of a doubt that other things being equal the carriage return hook should be on the right end of the typewriter carriage and not on the left end, as is shown in the pictures of certain other machines. There are however, other reasons why it should be on the right hand end such as that the left hand is already overworked by the poor standardization of the keyboard and therefore all the work possible should be thrown on the right hand.GL-1683A Miss Hortense Stollnitz, Champion high speed typist of this world, with light on her head, right elbow and both hands, showing small range of motion by writing one line on a typewriter.GL-1684 Miss Hortense Stollnitz, Champion high speed typist of this world, with light on her head, right elbow and both hands, showing small range of motion by writing one line on a typewriter.GL-1685 Miss Stollnitz, Remington Champion, with cyclegraph lights on head, right elbow and both forefingers.
