A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

At the beginning of the war I was instructed by the then Surgeon-G eneral of the Army (M ajor General William C. Gorgas) to establish a Section of Graphics in the Army Medical Museum, which was to include drawings in black and white, in color, paintings, sculpture, photographs, moving pictures, etc. In studying these questions one of the first names that came before me was that of Frank B. Gilbreth, of Providence, Rhode I sland. I at once wrote to him, telling him my troubles and asking for assistance. His answer came promptly :he, himself, coming, bringing one of his assistants with him and all of the material necessary to show me the details of how the matter was to be accomplished. Meanwhile, I had been talking with the Officers of the War College, Colonel Bowman, Majors Ellis and E. B. Garey. They were having troubles of their own, but I, having seen what Gilbreth had in mind, thought that his knowledge of the subject would make him of far greater value to the United States on duty with the War College than it could be in the Surgeon-G eneral s Office in the Army Medical Museum. I told Colonel Bowman of Gilbreth. I brought the two together, and as a result, Gilbreth, who had already been commissioned as Major of Engineers, was detailed to the General Staff, and sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to study the methods for standardizing the training of soldiers.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
