✦ Synopsis

A design methodology is presented for configuring computer menu displays to optimize total execution time for simple menu selection. Communication times and operator times were combined to obtain total execution times for four menu structures Spanning the breadth/depth spectrum for 64 items. The broadest menu (64 items in one frame) was favored at the most rapid communication rate (960 characters per s) whereas menus with intermediate values of breadth/depth (eight items per frame at two levels and four items per frame at three levels) yielded the fastest execution times at slower communication rates.

Currently the process used by designers to specify the features of structural adhesive joints consists of writing explanatory notes on the assembly plans. Thus, there is no graphic standard for these joints that allows us synthesise the technical information on the plans, in contrast to what happens
