Height of the operator's seat for designing a gender friendly pedal operated paddy thresher for small holding farmers so that it could be operated easily without drudgery
Devising a simple and sturdy height adjustment method would likely be best.
Research 'Anthropocentric' -
regarding humankind as the central or most important element of existence, especially as opposed to God or animals.
"when we assess animal intelligence we tend to take a very anthropocentric view"
The way ranchers treat cows vs. the way butchers do vs. a company like Tyson Chicken, and they way their #1 influence is monetarily based; all are vastly different and when looked at all at once, you can see pros and cons more easily. That's why businesses that have farm to table practices are insanely profitable and allows them the chance to be philanthropic and fair to nature, animals, and society.
Sir, Please see the design guidelines of Ergonomics published by CIAE, Bhopal (Gite et al., 2009) as there will be vast variation if you are targeting both genders.
Sir, consider popliteal height of the shortest of your user population i.e. shortest female operator's (e.g. 5th percentile of the female work force/ agricultural worker's) height should be considered for the seat design in case of a gender neutral design. Otherwise shortest among men's popliteal height should be considered.
