Item Title	618-G53
Description	From a letter written by Gilbreth to Hugo Munsterberg, dated March 19, 1914: "613-G27. This picture shows one of the many devices that was used for relieving the fatigue of the worker. Springs were put under the chairs to relieve the workers of the great vibrations of the three hundred sweing machines in the same room and their heavy driving motors. Besides the chair a foot rest was devised to hold the feet without any vibrations from the floor, and a treadle was devised so as not to require the foot on it in order to keep the machine going. This is only one of many fatigue eliminating devices, which come as a result of examination of the micro-motion and cyclegraph process. Nearly everybody believes that all women should be measures for their corsets, but very few people realize that working girls should be measured for her working chair in which she spends on half of the time she is awake during her entire working life. For this purpose we have had chairs in which of varying heights for the girl to sit in, and then made a chair for each of them particularly measures for her and her work. This is much quicker and more accurate than the adjustable chair. This is shown in picture 618-G53."
