Abstract:

While countless miles of measuring tape have been wrapped around the human body in an effort to quantify and categorize its dimensions, mankind continues to elude definitive attempts to predict its collective sizes and shapes. Much useful progress has been made, of course, and a great deal of anthropometric data have been assembled. It will be our purpose in this paper to suggest that at this point in the advancement of the art, additional general population surveys may no longer be the most effective means of meeting the needs of industrial or military designers.
