- PRESENTING the analysis of several thousand observations of the reactions of humans to vibration when sitting on a controlled vibrating seat or platform and in moving vehicles. Physical reactions are defined carefully as a result of many experiments under controlled conditions.The perfection of a three-directional wave-recording accelerometer is described. Its use in determining vibration conditions when the defined physical reactions occur is displayed.The relative effects of vibration in three directions on hard and upholstered seats are disclosed together with suggested instrumentation with the accelerometer. The rating of vehicles of transportation by a comfort scale is easily accomplished by the use of the accelerometer.
