✦ Synopsis

For some time the Scientific Editors of Applied Ergonomics have felt that it would be valuable to readers to provide a group of papers on a common subject in a single issue or successive issues of the Journal. The Scientific Editors invite comments from readers on the desirability of presenting papers in this way from time to time, and welcome suggestions on topics 'which they would like to see covered. At the moment it is planned to publish a series of papers concerning inspection in the next Volume which will appear in 1979.

The present Special Issue is wholly devoted to the subject of The Ergonomics of Passenger Comfort, and has been edited by Dr D.J. Oborne of the Psychology Department at the University College of Swansea. The Scientific Editors are grateful to him for undertaking this arduous task so competently and hope that readers find the papers as interesting, stimulating and useful as they do.
