Abstract
Five types of control (push buttons, toggle switches, knobs, horizontally operable levers, and vertically operable levers) were operated at room temperature with the hand clothed as follows: no glove, wool glove, double glove, i.e., leather glove over wool glove. Operation time was measured. It was concluded that the effect of gloves on control operation time depends on the type of glove worn, the physical characteristics of the control, and the type of control operation required.
