Description: Experiments in engineering psychology on the relationship between men and machines. How the information gained from research has led to the redesigning of equipment to fit human capabilities. The role and importance of this new area of study., Investigates the man-machine relationship through the work of Dr. Paul Fitts of the University of Michigan, Dr. Julian Christiansen of the Wright Air Development Center, and Dr. George Briggs of Ohio State University. Shows some of the ways in which man handles and processes information. Describes the problems and dynamics of information feedback between man and machines, the human being's behavior in highly complex man-machine systems, and the way in which information gained from these procedures has led to the redesign of equipment to fit human capabilities.
