NRP-1024 (VOLUME-2), NASA REFERENCE PUBLICATION: ANTHROPOMETRIC SOURCE BOOK: VOLUME II: HANDBOOK OF ANTHROPOMETRIC DATA (JUL-1978)., This three-volume publication brings together a large mass of anthropometric data which define the physical size, mass distribution properties, and dynamic capabilities of U.S. and selected foreign adult populations. Aimed specifically to meet the needs of design engi- neers engaged in the design and execution of clothing, equipment, and workspaces for the NASA Space Shuttle Program, the book is also designed to be of use to human engineers in a wide variety of fields. It is not only a comprehensive source of specific anthropometric information but also a guide to the effective applications of such data. Subjects covered in Volume I include physical changes in the zero-g environment, variability in body size, mass distribution properties of the human body, arm and leg reach, joint motion, strength, sizing and design of clothing and workspaces, and statistical guidelines. Material pre- sented includes such unpublished anthropometric data measured under one-g and zero-g condi- tions. Also included are 1985 body size projections and actual cutouts of quarter-scnle two-dimensional manikins for use by designers. Volume 11 contains data resulting from surveys of 61 military and civilian populations of both sexes from the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Some 295 measured variables are defined and illustrated. Volume III is an annotated bibliography covering a broad spectriim of topics relevant to applied physical anthropology with emphasis on anthropometry and its applications in sizing and design.
