Description
From a letter written by Gilbreth to Hugo Munsterberg , dated March 19 , 1914 : "618-L3'13 . This picture shows a very inexpensive method of increasing the height of chairs . In one factory we were in the chairs [that] had been used for a score of years , and the legs had all worn off accordingly . By taking four pieces of wood about two inches square , and boring a hole in the top of each , any worker can bring his chair up to a more comfortable height . A survey of any old factory will bring out astonishing facts regarding the presence of bolsters made of old magazines and clot tied into bunches , and put on seats to lift the girls up into more comfortable positions . The adaptation of chairs , recognized in the colleges as being extremely useful in causing no more fatigue that is necessary , has barely found its way into industries . Here is a chair which is particularly good for office work , although to date is has been used especially in colleges . FM-G1 shows the McClelland Folding Tablet Chair.”
