A comparison of the effects of reading from a VDU and from paper as measured in terms of reading speed and comprehension
… of eight combinations of font and colour on VDU and two different fonts on paper. Forty subjects, sixteen females and twenty-four males, were exposed to three of the ten different conditions, one in each of the set of readings, on either VDU or paper. They were asked to read different sets of …

The effect of tooth geometry on power hacksaw blade performance.
… and cutting forces simultaneously on one VDU, during cutting with single hacksaw teeth. This test is of limited use due to the slow cutting speeds employed. The second procedure, also using single teeth but cutting at realistic speeds, was capable of testing any tooth/gullet geometry …

Real-time process plant fault diagnosis
… a coloured diagram of a fault tree on the VDU of the microcomputer, so that the operator can see the link between the fault and its causes. The consequences of the fault and the causes of the fault are also shown to provide a warning of what may happen if the fault is not remedied. The …
