| Abstract |
The authors define 26 anthropometric variables which it is essential to bear in mind for machine guard design, and group them in 3 major categories: general data (age, weight, height, level of eyes, of shoulders, etc.), specific measurements of upper limbs, specific measurements of lower limbs. A survey of 4,220 males enabled the mean value of these variables to be calculated for Spanish workers; these data (which are not reproduced) are of particular importance in view of the considerable emigration of Spanish manpower to other European countries where anthropometric variables are different. |
