Notes:
Written by a television journalist specialising in industry and technology. Explores development and design process of industrial products by present day business. Delivered as a series of case studies. No history. 'The products whose stories he follows range from trucks and tyres to shoes, cement, carpets and computers. The technical and human problems involved in their creation, development, manufacturing and marketing illustrate the abilities and achievements of some of our top 'designers' in the broadest sense of the word'
