REPORT OF THE ANTHROPOMETRIC COMMITTEE. 



241 



The following is a copy of the drawing- and instructions issued by the Committee 

 to observers in collecting statistics of strength : — 



The above figure represents the position in which the strength of arm should be 

 tested. The right or left arm, whichever is the stronger, should be used to draw, 

 and the other to resist. The resisting arm must be free, and extended straight from 

 the side, as nearly as possible in the line of the shoulders, and the hand of the other 

 arm brought back towards the ear, as an archer uses a bow.
