Studies of sitting area on a plane rigid surface for a group of 104 male subjects were made. Area was found to vary with height and weight and to increase with age up to 40 years after which there is a steady decline. Means were 179.4 sq. in. for area and .92 pounds/sq/ in. for average pressure. Sitting contact area was found to increase with exper

Over the centuries, land travel has evolved from foot to wheel to self-propelled vehicle. With each advance in mode, there has ensued a dramatic revolution in distance, time, and travel pattern. Within memory there was a period of relatively little travel as compared to the motor vehicle age. Man lived a quiet life in the neighborhood of his birth,
