Some anthropometric measures on an Irish population.
Data for 11 dimensions relevant to workplace design were collected on 164 male workers who worked in the electronics, photographic machines, household goods and precision engineering manufacturing industries. Data differed significantly in several cases from published values for a US civilian population. Pheasant's ratios for estimation were found to give results about as good as those obtained from a three-variable multiple regression procedure. Estimation parameters for both approaches are presented with a summary of the measured values obtained.
