Built a series of very small pneumatic presses and hand held special tools for an automotive company. Operators needed their fatigue reduced for jobs like circlip insertion, bearing pressing, bimetallic biush pressing, diesel pump priming, pneumatic clamps for a sub assembly work, fixtures, etc. Very small work but interesting as it involved a lot of study into how the operator assembled a particular component, how he held it, how the component was placed in his work bench, ergonomics of that particular component when it was placed in the automobile for example-the priming tool for diesel pump was to to be used after the pump was installed in the vehicle so holding the tool while priming was being done was required. We had to 'fix' the tool on the vehicle's exhaust while priming and for this we had to measure to take measurements while the vehicle was moving in the assembly line.
