Bibliographic information Guildford, United Kingdom, Mar. 1977, Vol.8, No.1, p.31-34. Illus.
Abstract A device is described which visualises the space limits for normal reach and the maximum reach range from the standing or sitting position. It consists of a wall of wooden elements 5 x 5 x 100cm, each of which can be pushed back by up to 85cm. A grid notation system of spatial data is used to characterise the machine layout. Application of the method to the design of a hydraulic press is illustrated.
