318949.1308 Chronocyclegraph of handkerchief folding. Very difficult to tell, but my hunch is that this is a pattern of an experienced folder using 'standard' motions; it may even be the pattern which the Gilbreths turned into a motion model of the 'right way.' There are fewer cycles than documented in the stereocards, and this image shows no background at all. Check against motion model images.
