When moving, there is a constantly repeated displacement; ultimately in the direction taken by the leading foot, although prior to the commencement of the stride, there is a momentary displacement in the opposite direction, as the weight is shifted to the supporting leg in order to reduce the weight on the side of the foot to be Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Gay, Carl Warren, 1877-.
