    The characteristics of the brain mechanism were reviewed with special reference to three integrative systems of the brain: the neocortical, limbic and brain stem-spinal systems. The limbic system integrates the instinctive and emotional behaviour making use of somatic informations of primitive nature and those changes of internal environments which are received at hypothalamus, while the brainstemspinal system corresponds to reflective and regulative actions mobilized by pain, muscular tension, sense of equilibrium and changes in internal environments. The adaptive and creative behaviour is integrated at the cerebral neocortex taking advantage of somatic input from external environment. Its output mechanism belongs to the frontal lobe in terms of thinking, reasoning and decision making in contrast with input mechanism in those cortical areas located posterior to the central and lateral fissures which are related to percepting, understanding and memorizing. The consciousness and attention are the complex neocortical functions activated by brainstem reticular system and hypothalamic regulative system.

    Ergonomic studies were performed to design an mproved type of the universal laithe. Layout of controls was especially considered so that they may be concentrated within the operator's reach according to their functional importance and to the sequence of operation. The diminution of the number of controls was also intended. The required force for the tail-stoch controls was reduced. In order to evaluate the new model, operation time and processing time were measured and motion study by means of memomotion technique and cyclegraph was performed. The results showed conspicuous reduction of operation and processing time, frequency of hand or foot motions and body bending as compared with laithe of older types.

    The snow-weasel weighing 8.5t with a Diesel engine which was designed to accomodate 3 persons in -2°C to -40°C conditions was studied from ergonomic viewpoints. The check-list method was applied to check the microclimate, noise and vibration, illumination, clothes, water supply and sewage, seats, displays and controls. Some problems were revealed by this method as to temperature regulation, defroster, noise while driving, vibration, absence of lavatory or water supply, bed space and kitchen table. The improvement of window space, seat design, layout of controls, countermeasures for emergency and temperature regulation was recommended.

    Open counter system of the tickets issuing for the new high-speed rail-way service, the new Tokaido line, was studied to promote the efficient and comfortable issuing. The appropriate seat height, seat back sufficient space for feet and legs were arranged so as to emable the comfortable posture. The control panel to have access to the electronic computer was set at the left, the ticket printer at the right of the clerk within adequate reach and with proper height. The printer areas may be used for handing over of the ticket to another clerk in case of two-men issuing. The tecket-box for subsidiary use was set accordingly at the back of the clerk. The new design was actually adopted at the Tokyo station and gained popular favour. The hourly issue speed reached over 60 per clerk.

    Methodological problems to meet ergonomic demands for suits are discussed as to size dimensions. The proper classification of necessary dimensional data may be offered by means of multiple regression analysis of the measurements. The understanding of body types and finding of adequate allowances for body motion require the development of new techniques of analysis. The manufacture of the dummy for ready-made suits may provide us the possibility for thier 3-dimensional cutting and thus for the manufacture of suits fit for every body type.
