MODIFICATION OF THE DESIGN OF VISUAL DISPLAYS IN THE MANEUVERING ROOM OF GUPPY SUBMARINES.

Abstract

For purposes of analysis, the displays were divided into two main groups: (a) instruments providing quantitative information of primary importance to the Controllermen, and (b) accessory instruments permitting few, if any, quantitative readings. The analysis revealed that: (1) There are many violations of the guiding principles of human engineering. (2) The instruments have not been organized into a system of displays from which the operator may obtain precisely the required information. (Author)
