Abstract

Small collection of two-dimensional interactivity of complex information packaged in an informational design requiring hand - eye coordination of using a wheel chart. Perhaps the best example is the lumber scale to determine the necessary lumber required to build a specifically determined structure or the necessary cement required to make a cubic yard of concrete.

Dates: 1920 - 2005
