Question

10. The assembly worker reached for an Allen wrench in the workplace, hesitating momentarily while searching for the correct size from the group of Allen wrenches lying there. Finding the correct size, she picked it up and positioned it into the hexagonal socket of a screw that had previously been hand-turned into a threaded hole in the work unit. She then twirled the Allen wrench handle with one continuous finger and wrist motion until the screw had been rotated seven turns. At this point she gripped the Allen wrench handle with her hand and tightened the screw the last quarter turn. Write a list of the therbligs that comprise this motion sequence and label each basic motion with a brief description.
