A Visit To a Human Engineering Laboratory. This young lady is doing the finger dexterity test at the Human Engineering Laboratory at Stevens Institute of Technology. The speed with which she picks up the pins, three at a time, and places them in the holes, is an index to how well she can do delicate manipulative work with her fingers. Finger dexterity is useful in such activities as handicraft, factory assembly jobs, etc.
