abstract="An experiment was conducted to produce pictographic symbols for identifying gauges and/or warning lights on instrument panels of motor vehicles. Students in a University of Michigan psychology class drew pictures to symbolize seven vehicle systems (brake, coolant, etc.), four properties of these systems (fluid level, temperature, pressure, filter), and 26 combinations (brake fluid level, coolant temperature, etc.). In a second experiment, the students rated the meaningfulness of 216 symbols proposed for 26 different display functions. The proposed symbols, assembled from several sources, included those the students had produced. The rating experiment identified promising candidates for further investigation.Report Numbers:<p />",
