A device that records the time taken for a complete cycle of motion or movement.
From Greek chronos (time) + cycl- (circle/cycle) + -graph (record/write). Coined in early 20th-century industrial engineering to measure repetitive manufacturing processes.
Time-and-motion studies used chronocyclegraphs to track factory workers' movements, and this data helped shape how modern assembly lines work—sometimes one weird invention changes how millions of people work!
