Of the first two examples I know nothing, but: Thatchers 1904 recipe Dry Traditional Cider Cider has been made since time immoral. Female Body Four billion years of evolution. And it still doesn't always get it right :( Dawes Hybrid Road/trail Bicycles Only two hundred years of development, by some tens of thousands of manufacturers. As Ike Neuburg said, "If we run a little faster, it is because we stand on the toes of giants". |

Where would the Tele be without the work of Les Paul? Design, Function Purpose part of the thread is fun though. How about The Zippo Lighter, The Skidoo, and the Saturn SL1? I have the Saturn. It is an amazingly well built car which GM let slide into oblivion due to corporatism. Female body? I donno. Tell that to a woman who has had cancer, or for that matter a C-section. Well designed, maybe, but far from flawless in design and purpose. |
