Sunday 02/08/04 Henry Dreyfuss designed the classic AT&T Model 500 telephone for Bell Labs, and documented the design process for posterity. via peterme Re: phone design There are 3 messages in this thread, displayed in the order they were posted. Matt Deatherage 2/9/2004 5:44:26 PM Pacific Documented what? There's no there there. All good design goes through analysis, sketching, models, and so on. These pages tell us nothing about the specific design of the phones. What was wrong with the old phones? Why aren't there even any pictures of the old models? Why did they choose the shapes and designs they did? What were the design goals? This is just a few pictures of an unknown process. If it really is documented, the Smithsonian did a poor job of presenting it online. :( Jerry Kindal 2/10/2004 12:09:59 PM Pacific Yeah, in looking that a little more, it's not as in-depth as it first appeared.
