Abstract
This paper attempts to summarize and abstract the current status of engineering anthropometry. It indicates sources of anthropometric data needed by the engineer. It discusses the practical application of anthropometric information to the modelling and design of manned systems for optimal fit to the human, for highest safety, and best performance.
