| Abstract |
37 subjects (17 US men, 12 US women, 5 oriental men, 3 oriental women) representing extreme differences in height were asked to indicate their preferred seat height, keyboard height and slope angle, and CRT height and tilt angle. Flat (low slope angle) keyboards are inappropriate for short operators who select low seat heights. The keyboard angle adjustments preferred by most operators substantially exceed a current German ergonomic display station requirement. Recommendations are made for keyboards and display screens. |
