Two programs on this videotape outline the origins of popular twentieth century product designs: first, the stylized map of the London underground subway system, created by electric circuit diagram designer Henry Beck, which has guided people through the Tube since 1933. Director Dieder Baussy-Oulianoff. Next, although Adolf Hitler promoted it as the people’s car, the Volkswagen Beetle, an economical modernist design by Ferdinand Porsche, actually came into its own in the 1950s. Director Reiner E. Moritz. See also DVD, AT # 69047.
