    Ergonomic aspects of the design of clothing and personal equipments are discussed. Their optimization should be attained by means of functional design fit for work performance and of suitable protection against environmental hazardous conditions. Considerations on clothing materials and dimensional factors, warmth keeping, protection against environmental hazards and comfortability are necessary conditions. Standards and check points for special suits as space suits, fire suits and radioactivity protection suits were summarized in tables. Ergonomic prerequisites for safety equipments as safety helmets were also discussed.

    Ergonomic studies on apparel design have been conducted especially on account of the manufacture of ready-made clothes, since it calls for adjustment of them to body types and physical dimensions and the appropriate grading of sizes. Historical background of the studies in educational institutions, industrial circles and consumers was reviewed.
    Ergonomic considerations on apparel design may be divided into two aspects the improvement of the wear-human relations and the betterment of the industrial productivity of wears. The former aspect demands adjustment of wears to the individual body type and physical dimensions as well as the adaptability to body movement. Wearing convenience and safety probleme are also a matter of discussion.

    We researched in the accomodations in the Oil Tanker, S. S. Nissho-Maru on the Persian Gulf Line. Results are as follows.
    Illumination-levels at night in some rooms are lower than that of Japanese Industrial Standard. We can obtain standard levels of illumination by fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent lamps.
    The color design of the accomodations in the ship provides comfortable visual environments.
    Noise level in the ship was taken by the sound level meter and the fequency analyzer. On the other hand, sulyective estimations of the noise was given by means of Semantic Differential method and questionaire. As the result of these, it is sugested that below 60 phon (A) in the living rooms, below 80 phon (A) in the work areas may be desirable in the ship.
    The atomospheric conditions of the living rooms are rather improved by the air conditioning, but in some work areas such as Engineroom and Galley it is so hot and urgent improvements are expected.

    Photogrammetry was applied to the measurement of body dimensions of a Japanese woman by means of a specially arranged stereoscopic camera and a Wild's Autograph A 7. The nude subject was photographed by two cameras, 45cm apart, at the distance of 2.5m. The results calculated from the printed outputs were compared with those by an ordinary Martin's method.
    Out of standardized 192 items, 134 could be measured by this photogrammetry. The deviation from the results obtained by the Martin's method was generally small and the method proved to be valid for practical application. For, 41 items, however, the deviation was greater than 1.0cm. That was mainly because it was difficult to keep the same posture and to identify exactly the Spots to be measured. Some technical measures to improve the proposed method were discussed.

    Clothes shouId be three dimensional-designed to conform to the required movement of the body and to fit the still human as well.
    This is a report on an experimental construction of a basic human body to show how much room for movement should be given to different parts of the body in designing clothes, with special attention focused on the movement of the arms.
    1. The experiment was made on three positions of the extended arms-at a low angle, a horizontal position and an elevated position.
    2. The changes on the surface of the human body caused by the movement of the arms were presented by horizontal and vertical lines drawn directly on the body at regular intervals.
    3. These lines on the body are transferred on paper to form a copy of the body. It is called a shell. Shell s of the three arm positions are superimposed for study.
    4. The cross section of the shoulder joint is studied to see which parts more move than others.
    5. A basic pattern of body for clothes, with room for movement, has been developed from No. 3 and 4.
    The experiment showed that more room for movement on the body should be given to the front and back of the shoulder joint while giving less room to the armpit and the side.
