✦ Synopsis
Linearly arranged banks of hydraulic control levers constitute common control layouts on many specialised pieces of equipment used in agriculture, especially in California. Such controls are used to control multi-function equipment with various types of articulating mechanisms performing both linear and rotary translations in order to effect pitch, roll and yaw movements; also other movements such as clamping and encircling.
Sterotypes regarding the control of the motion of a cube with six degrees of freedom by a single control lever were assessed. Results generally were consistent with previous work except for the case of the up/down motion of the cube for which a strongly anomalous phenomenon was found. Stereotypes for the assignment of cube motions to sets of multiple control levers were found to be weak or non-existent.
