Suggest we add "simultaneous actions" to old provision S 1194.23 (k)(2)



Simultaneous is mentioned in performance criterion, but not here. One hand
does not preclude simultaneous. Suggest simultaneous be added here with the
rest so that it reads







(2) Controls and keys shall be operable with one hand and shall not
require pinching, twisting of the wrist, tight grasping OR SIMULTANEOUS
ACTIONS. The force required to activate controls and keys shall be 5 lbs.
(22.2 N) maximum.
