Abstract
The evolution of the relationship between man and the machine he selects to perform work, from the standpoint of control, is traced through the various eras of history. This, paper describes the cyclic effect in the man-machine relationship, that is, the integration and lack of integration of the operator in the task loop, from the days of the Stone Age through the Machine Age, the Age of Automation, and up to today. Recognizing the increased performance and sophistication of present-day machines, a discussion is presented of the component and equipment design considerations necessary for integrating man and machine through remote controls.
