Zusammenfassung:Results of five altimeter display studies (four by static presentation and one by cinematic presentation) are described. The five altimeter display designs evaluated were: The Three-Pointer MA-1, the Horizontal DrumPointer, the Single Tape-Pointer, the Vertical Drum Pointer - MD-1, and the Dual Tape instrument. Methods of evaluation were varied extensively. Measurements of errors and response time were taken for all studies. Results were generally in agreement that the following order of goodness prevails: (1) Single-Tape Pointer, (2) Horizontal DrumPointer, (3) Vertical Drum-Pointer (MD-1) and (4) ThreePointer (MA-1).
