title: The ergonomics of spot welders.
abstract: The working situations of people working spot welding machines, both foot and power operated, are described and measurements of several machines and their performances are presented. From performance, discomfort and machine design analyses desirable modifications to the workplace are deduced and implemented. Subsequent measures taken over a period of two weeks of performance show increased output, reduced production costs and increased comfort for the operators.
