Psychological anti mathematical analyses are being used to improve the design of telephones, and work stations. The techniques and, more importantly, the attitudes of the human factors engineer indicate a significant trend in research and development.
3.2.000(58896) Findings are presented on the consequences of rapidly crossing numerous time zones, such as occurs in present-day jet aircraft travel. Conclusions reached by FAA researchers and scientists of other laboratories are included, together with recommendations for overcoming timezone fatigue. These recommendations are for use by the individual long distance traveller. A practical formula is given which describes how one may compute the rest period following a long distance trip. This period is to enable the biological rhythms to rephase in order that the traveller will be in proper physical and mental condition to pursue his responsibilities. 3.2.000(58891)
Preston, F.S. Time zone disruption and sleep patterns in pilots Transactions o f the Society o f Occupational Medicine 1970, 20.3, 77-86, abstr, in Occupational Safety and tlealth Abstracts ]'he author reports on studies of sleep patterns of commercial airline pilots Gying on long routes and on physiological effects and changes in physical performance resulting from disruption of circadian rhythm. Details are given of sleep/work cycles and of subjective assessments by pilots of their own physical state during long periods of duty. The author interprets his findings and considers methods of maintaining the health and efficiency of aircrews flying long routes, including provision of sound-proofed and air-conditioned hotel accommodation, proper meals at the right time, and exercise, and possibly facilities for recreation and, in special circumstances under strict medical control, administration of sleep-inducing drugs.

The author examines the contribution of ergonomics to instrument design and emphasises that the success of an instrumentation system is influenced by the efficiency of the man-machine, or user-instrument, combination. The ergonomist can advise on the "human c o m p o n e n t ' of the overall system. Even with automatte systems, where routine human operations have been excluded, the ergonomics aspects of commissioning and maintenance activities will remain important. 3.2.000 (58898) German Standards Committee Safety Colours ( In German) DIN 4818, Sept 1965:abstr. m Occupational Safety and Health A bstracts The safety colours mdicated in this standard conform fairly closely to national and international regulations. The standard contains information on the purpose of the colours and on their uses and manner of application. The standard colours, red, yellow, green and blue are reproduced, with indications of their signification, permissable colour variations and the contrast colours. 3.2.000(58899) Forbes, T.W.

Brightness and colour contrasts within the sign and between the sign and its background were given particular attention. Results show good agreement with simple mathematical functions.
