Abstract
A stencil plate provides the outline of front, side and top views of a normalized human body in outline form, pivot holes corresponding to each joint and additional holes indicating the natural range of swing about each joint, particularly in the top view, some showing foreshortening as the result of holding the arm at an inclination to the horizontal plane provided. By swinging the stencil plate at a pivot point between the stages of drawing the outline, various body attitudes may be drawn. With such stencils, the layout of counters, consoles, equipment, etc., at a workplace may be suited to the operating personnel.
