Phisical vs Theory

Believe it or not we often don't get to see a lot of the things we design, even whole shops or buildings are often forgotten when they are completed as there is so much other stuff that we are doing.

In this case it's a smaller part of a project that was made by the casting company for us to look at before they went ahead to make the production versions.

I have included a screenshot of the assembly drawing to give an idea of how we intended it.
I must say, it's not always personal taste that dictates the designs that we often come out with.

Brilliant UK plug idea

How often have you needed to take something with a plug in a minimal bag? I carry my laptop a lot and the plug is the only thing that prevents the bag being svelt and minimal. Lets hope this plug makes it through prototyping, financing, approval and distribution.
