METHODS FOR DETERMINING UNOBSCURED AREAS ON INSTRUMENT PANELS

This paper describes two methods for determining areas on the instrument panel that are visible through and around the steering wheel rim, hub, and spokes. Both methods are design tools that can be used early in the development of new instrument panels to insure that critical displays will not be obscured. /GMRL/
