    Preventive measures against aeroplane accidents were discussed from ergonomics viewpoints. Personal conditions of the pilot, fatigue, incapabilities to follow the operation characteristics or acute disturbances in vision and space perception were mentioned as posible human error factors in aviation. Interaction of human operations with the reliability of the discussion, as human operations seemed not to be excluded in any aviation techniques. Studies on physiological or psychological factors related to aviation accidents were referred and safety allowances for aerodrome facilities were pointed out to be the most necessary. Impoved displays around the cockpit and the automatic landing system should be developed, taking into account the psychological factors as response delay, misjudgement or limitations of human control capacities.

    Ergonomics aspects of the Japanese turbo-prop aero-plane YS-11 were discussed. General arrangement of interior spaces, noise protection for crew and passengers and air conditioning were appreciated. Other merits might be the systematic layout of auxiliary controls making efficient use of the overhead panel, though the panel was a little too large, and considerations as to grouping, form and colour of main controls. Arrangement of turn and bank indicators, which were set at the right of the chief pilot and at the left of the second pilot, should be improved. 72 signal lamps, 40% of which were located on the overhead panel, were not effectively grouped and adoption of a concentrated warning-lamp system with masterlamps in the middle of visual field, along with the reduction of the mumber of lamps, was also recommended.

    Predetermined Time Standard was explained and discussed as one of reliable ergonomic research techniques in evaluating the motion time of any operation. Work factors for various kinds of operations were summarized in tables. The possibility of using the work factors for mental processes was also discussed.

    As the second part of the series, micromotion study and memomotion study techniques by means of 8 or 16mm films were demonstrated, 8mm cinecamera technique developed at Waseda Univ. was introduced.

    Use of S. A. F 3-dimensional manikin for interior design of automobiles was recommended. Fundamental factors for compartfment design may be classified as the following: Factor A as determinant of the maximum and the minimum or degrees of freedom of body sizes, Factor B concerned with roomness, Factor C related to the posture, and Factor D including other dimenisonal and environmental factors.

    A Japanese tiller operated by a walking farmer was studies ergonomically. Gear and main clutch levers were revealed to be located too far from the operator.
    The clutch lever attached to the handle-bar should also be improved. Heart rate of the trained operators during the straight driving of the tiller was about 90-100beats/min. Heart rate increase was more conspicuous in turning the machine, as the operator had to lift the handle-bars to let the rotating plough free from the ground. Variation of flicker fusion frequency was tmall, but arm tremor became large after the tillege. Noise. level during the operation was as high as 90-93 phones. Varioues. types of tillers were compared and thier improvement especially as to the turning operation was discussed.
