Engineering Fun FactsFrank Gilbreth, a very famous Industrial Engineer, studied the body motions of individuals performing work in order to develop the most effective motion paths. After the outbreak of World War I, he was able, as an Army officer, to tell which potential military personnel were faking body ailments, such as limps, to avoid service. He also used his expertise to produce training films and procedures. One example was a procedure to disassemble and reassemble a machine gun while blindfolded.
Have you ever watched a bricklayer work? They are perched on special scaffolding where they can grab brick and mortar at the same time. Years ago, bricklayers stooped over to pick up every brick and then stooped again to get mortar. This new way of bricklaying improved output 100 percent. This change was one of Frank Gilbreth's first motion studies designed and patented. Mr. Gilbreth is one of the most famous Industrial Engineers.
