Description

Originally published in 1944, The Missing Technician shows how Industrial Design must begin at the very first stages of planning a product.

The procedure of a design research committee is outlined – a type of practical co-ordination of the work of industrial designers and production technicians which proved highly effective.

The value of materials like aluminium and plastic are emphasized, but equally the importance of glass and cast iron is stressed, especially when handled in new ways that 20th Century techniques made possible.
