Len Terry [1924-2014] Terriers & Tetrahedrons<\/strong><\/p>\n

Len Terry made this observation about Colin Chapman for whom he worked:-<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was inclined to trim designs down until they were too light and fragile but his conceptual thinking and genius was just unmatched\u201d<\/p>\n

Introduction to series<\/strong><\/p>\n

The A&R considers that Colin Chapman\u2019s design career in FI embraced two periods:-<\/p>\n

\n
1. From the inception of Lotus cars to the late 1960\u2019s early 1970\u2019s<\/li>\n
2. The mature period covering the wings\/ ground effect and turbo era until his sad and early death in 1982<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   We don\u2019t know what he might have achieved had he lived beyond this.<\/p>\n

   The FI designs of Colin Chapman were considerable not least because of his relatively low budget .He did not have the resources of a multinational to cross-subsidize his racing programme.<\/p>\n

   In order to evaluate Colin Chapman better the A&R is committing to a series of benchmarking exercises analyzing the design achievements of his peers through his career.<\/p>\n

   If the series is well received it might be possible to extend it in a continuum to the present day whilst also looking at the emerging design talent.<\/p>\n

   These design studies are a natural complement to our series on Design Heroes that gives priority to Industrial and Product Designers.<\/p>\n

   In the appendix below we state what we believe to be Chapman\u2019s achievements and invite subscribers to benchmark him with selected peers using the criteria set out.<\/p>\n

   The Designers<\/strong><\/p>\n

   We offer the list below and would be interested to hear from our subscribers if they would like to make other recommendation for inclusion and also if they have priority\/ preference in our selection.<\/p>\n

   We appreciate that some of these designers were colleagues of Colin Chapman at Lotus at some point in their careers but went onto achieve success in their own right.<\/p>\n

   As a prompt subscribers might like to use the list to pencil in those cars they associate with the designers.<\/p>\n

To achieve any success in this specialized field he must have a draughtsman background to which he must add his own ingredients of imagination and inventiveness controlled by common sense\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He lists the following skills and competencies:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Competent draughtsman capable of

following chapter titles as a guide to the design procedure for a racing car:-<\/p>\n In abbreviated form we catalogue these:-<\/p>\n \n A clean sheet of paper<\/li>\n Requirement priorities maximum acceleration, maximum cornering speed, maximum terminal velocity<\/li>\n Drawings, layouts and scales<\/li>\n Handling characteristics<\/li>\n Structural considerations<\/li>\n Suspension<\/li>\n

Racing & Sports car Chassis Design <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n These two books are invaluable in assisting the comprehension of Chapman\u2019s design appropriate in the 1950\u2019s through 60\u2019s.<\/p>\n Both are complementary.<\/p>\n Draughtsman <\/strong><\/p>\n Terry refers frequently to draughtsmanship and we consider it too important to overlook.<\/p>\n The RAF was particularly technology orientated.<\/p>\n The Second World War was highly technical with boffins producing many innovations.<\/p>\n These had to be translated into reality and draughtsmanship was a primary skill.<\/p>\n The reference books we mention are academic and prepare student for higher level examination in period.<\/p>\n We believe Terry was educated formerly\/informally to a standard as was probably Chapman in technical drawing.<\/p>\n They ought to be examined to appreciate the skill and disciplines required.<\/p>\n Writing in 1936 Parkinson noted:-<\/p>\n \u201cIn the course of his training in Engineering Drawing the student should gain and develop-<\/p>\n \n A clear conception and appreciation of form,proportion and purpose<\/li>\n Speed and aaccuracy in the use of pencil and drawing instruments<\/li>\n The ability to think in three dimension<\/li>\n The power of expressing his ideas in construction work quickly and clearly by freehand sketches<\/li>\n Competency in

Chapman:-<\/p>\n \u201cHe was himself a very fine draughtsman and he had the artistic talent to sketch designs and ideas three dimensionally so that even someone with the most feeble grasp of how to

In addition we propose merchandising that explain and interprets the social and cultural context of Chapman\u2019s designs in period.
