N2  - Careful assessment of the origin and intent of design provisions can take on added importance in light of current policies within the Department of Defense regarding tailoring of specifications and standards and reduction of interpretation stringency where marginal benefits of a standard requirement cannot rationalize cost-effective application to system needs. This paper shows how tracing human engineering design criteria to determine validity and applicability, as developed from its sources, could become a useful technique and how the ancestors of current human engineering standards take on some value. The development of the current military standard for human engineering is also described.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
