Wenger, William K. (1987): If Controls in the Catalogs Just Won't Do, then Top-Down Design is Right for You. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 997-999.

Any human-artifact interface ultimately depends on the characteristics of available control, displays, and other components. Human factors' role is often merely that of performing hardware trade-offs and making recommendations. This consumer's approach deviates from human factors' proper function of initiating and contributing optimum control/display designs. In line with the latter, a new hand control was designed for use in environments where off-the-shelf controls were found to be inadequate.
