trol design have emerged
Compatibility. Just as in the design of dis plays, control movement should be designed to be compatible with the display and ma chine movement A lift truck, for example, that has the lift controls move nght to left to raise or lower the lift is bound to have a num ber of errors associated with its operation

Coding Whenever possible, all controls should be coded in some way A good coding system can reduce many errors by shape and texture, location, color, and operation A sum mary and comparison of various visual coding methods is piesented in Table 10-C
Shape and texture Controls can be coded by their shape or their texture (see Fig
