Engineering anthropometry is the application of scientific physical measurement methods to human subjects for the development of engineering design standards and specific requirements and for evaluation of engineering drawings, mock-ups, and manufactured products for the purpose of assuring suitability of these products for the intended u s e r population.(page 6 in Roebuck, Kroemer & Thomson 1975) The assessment of the physical dimensions of man and the application of this knowledge to the design of tools and equipment is, undoubtedly, one of the very old a r t s and sciences.
