| Abstract |
An outline of general principles and rules for calculating paramaters of industrial equipment based on the method of quantiles. Among the general principles: differences within groups of individuals are greater than differences between groups; the difference between individual measurements and averages must always be kept in mind; rounding off of tabulated data should not exceed 1cm or 1°; calculations should not be based only on arithmetic means; 20-25-year-old data should not be used. Appendices contain: definitions of terms used in the main document; anthropometric characteristics that differ with sex, ethnic group and age; tables giving 42 measurements for 18-21-year-olds, listed separately for men and women, for 3 Soviet nationalities, and for the 1st, 5th, 50th, 95th and 99th percentiles of each group; tables of amplitudes of hand, foot and head movements, given as 5th, 50th and 95th percentiles of the general population. |
