OK, RCA went overboard, perhaps, but then they were a rich company
back in the 1930s, regardless of the Depression.
Still, ergonomics is really a bunch of common sense when you get down
to the core. Look at my receiver control box example - it does not
take a rocket (control box) scientist to see the problem, and to see
the solution. Or the transmitter box example - a chickenhead would
have solved the whole problem. But no...
