Engineering Fun FactsFrank Gilbreth, a very famous Industrial Engineer, studied the body motionsof individuals performing work in order to develop the most effectivemotion paths. After the outbreak of World War I, he was able, as an Armyofficer, to tell which potential military personnel were faking body ailments,such as limps, to avoid service. He also used his expertise to producetraining films and procedures. One example was a procedure to disassembleand reassemble a machine gun while blindfolded.Have you ever watched a bricklayer work? They are perched on specialscaffolding where they can grab brick and mortar at the same time. Yearsago, bricklayers stooped over to pick up every brick and then stooped againto get mortar. This new way of bricklaying improved output 100percent. This change was one of Frank Gilbreths first motion studiesdesigned and patented. Mr. Gilbreth is one of the most famous IndustrialEngineers.
