- DiThi 9y agoWhat are the units?
- mysterydip 9y agoLooks like inches, feet, and pounds
- datagram 9y agoThe FAQ on the Kickstarter page says it has both metric and imperial units. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iacollaborative/reissue-of-humanscale/faqs https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iacollaborative/reissue...
- telesilla 9y agoThe reference manual itself is fascinating: http://design.data.free.fr/RUCHE/documents/Ergonomie%20Henry%20DREYFUS.pdf http://design.data.free.fr/RUCHE/documents/Ergonomie%20Henry...
- kwhitefoot 9y agoThank you for finding that. It really is fascinating. Mind you most of the numbers need updating :-) U.S. 50. %tile weight is now 194.7 lb not 161.9 lb and I suspect that the 97.5 %tile is even worse (but a cursory search didn't find any data).

- mattlondon 9y agoAmazing - thanks. I thought the reliability statistics for the different dial types was fascinating.
- seliopou 9y agoAvailable for pre-order but neither the article, nor the product's website, has a ship date estimate.
- patchorang 9y agoThe Kickstarter says December 2017.
- jweir 9y agoThis reminds me of this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11230287 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11230287 How in WWII a statistician noticed there are no average sized humans and the dangers of building for a mythical average.
- artur_makly 9y agoomg - THATS what that double-tap feature was for?!? i always thought it was a bug.
- riwaha 9y agoThe fascinating thing about that is the design and the structural value of its own, By to get design always visit for good https://www.ingic.ae/web-design/ https://www.ingic.ae/web-design/ and to get good output is always my desire and they prove it all the time.
