Abstract: The effects of classical factors, such as symbol geometry, symbol brightness, and brightness contrast, upon the legibility of numerals and capital letters are discussed. Included is a consideration of the literature of the last few decades relevant to the specification of acceptable operator performance criteria which must be met by a given display device. Selected studies are reviewed in detail and referenced. For each study, conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made for display design and application. (Author/LH)
