3.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, June 25, 2008

This DVD is 32 minutes of Frank Gilbreths original time and motion studies. All are original B/W no sound movies from around WW I. It's amazing how much different professions Gilbreth has studied to try to improve the skills. Not just manufacturing, but baseball, surgeons and even soldiers.

If you are interested in history and historical images of the early time and motion studies, then this video is absolutely for you. For most people, it will probably be an old movie with people repeating the same moves with a clock next it.

I liked it a lot. It makes time/motion studies and that part of history more concrete and clear.

Thus for most people, probably only 3 or 2 stars. If you like these things, 4 or even 5 stars. I averaged out to 3.
