Human Body Dimensions for Ergonomic Design - Historical Reference Chart #2368489 (License: Personal Use)

This historical diagram, originally published in *The Architectural Record*, illustrates precise anthropometric measurements of the average adult human in various postures-including standing, seated, kneeling, and working at desks or counters-using imperial units. Each figure is annotated with critical clearance, reach, and height data to inform furniture, workstation, and architectural planning. The scale is based on a 1/4" = 1'0" ratio, with notes on preferred work-surface heights and adaptations for children’s furniture.

Used in ergonomics, industrial design, architecture, and UX research to ground spatial planning in human-scale data; ideal for educational content, design guidelines, or historical retrospectives on human-centered design.
