Table 1.

Positions in which manikin heads were placed

Position 1: Facing forwards with the head face on.
Position 2: Facing forwards and rotated 45 degrees backwards about horizontal axis A (front and looking up).
Position 3: Facing forwards and rotated 45 degrees forwards about horizontal axis A (front and looking down).
Position 4: Rotated 90 degrees to the left about vertical axis B and rotated 45 degrees backwards about horizontal axis A (left and looking up).
Position 5: Rotated 90 degrees to the left about vertical axis B and rotated 45 degrees forwards about horizontal axis A (left and looking down).
Position 6: Rotated 90 degrees to the right about vertical axis B and rotated 45 degrees backwards about horizontal axis A (right and looking up).
Position 7: Rotated 90 degrees to the right about vertical axis B and rotated 45 degrees forwards about horizontal axis A (right and looking down).

Note: Positions are relative to perspective of the manikin head. Eg. “Left” means left as manikin faces forward, but appears as turning to right from perspective of cough source.
