MOTION STUDY STOP-WATCH. 



Stop-watches are not a new idea but the recent demand for 

 greater jiroduction has made necessary more accurate and con- 

 veniently arrai's-'eil stop-watches for industrial time study. 



The stop-watch illus- 

 trated herewith is specially 

 designed for industrial 

 purposes and can be held 

 in one hand while the 

 other is free to write. The 

 watch is started and 

 stopped by a catch at the 

 left of the stem, which is 

 pushed in one direction to 

 stop and another direction 

 to start. If it is desired 

 to bring the stop back to 

 O the stem is pressed in. 

 The large dial is di- 

 vided, not into minutes and 

 seconds, but into 100 parts 

 to the minute. In other 

 words, the division is a 

 decimal one. This makes 

 it easy to compute cost fig- 

 ures by multiplying the 

 decimal fraction of a minute which is obtained directly from the 

 watch. The small dial reads in minutes and runs to 30 minutes. 

 This watch is a great convenience in making time studies and is 

 far superior to those divided into fractions of seconds. (Educa- 

 tional Exhibition Co., 26 Custom House street, Providence, Rhode 

 Island.)
