- H.I.M. may stand for Human Interaction Management. Source plate notes: "The effect of noise on energy expenditure is determined by analysis of the air exhaled under quiet and noisy conditions. The mask, with separate inlet and outlet valves, fits over the mouth and nose. The air of the room is inhaled, and the exhaled air, having passed through a short tube, can be collected and analysed. An operator quickly becomes accustomed to the mask; for nine months each of three subjects slept with a similar mask strapped to his face. Of special interest are - the wall of Acousti-celotex in the background, the calculograph for recording time and the electrical connections to the noiseless typewriter for measuring output. The typist maintained a speed of 150 words per minute. The exhaled breath is collected in the Douglas bag on the table. All but the small sample required for analysis is passed through the meter behind it, and the amount exhaled per minute is determined. The sample is analysed in the Orsat apparatus to which the experimenter is pointing. On the wall is the Tycos Psychrometer which records dry-bulk and wet-bulb temperatures. (After Laird)
