More InformationIn 44pp Car magazine collector's edition supplement entitled A-Z of Design and Technology. Short essay with brief mention of Henry Moore: If an engineer dubbed a camshaft beautiful and mounted it on a marble block he would not give it the same hierarchical status as a small bronze by Henry Moore. Both are made of metal both are within the same range of size both are concerned with shape and form one indeed to such mathematical precision and perfection as to make the other seem ham-fisted and inept yet one is art the other a spare part unlikely to find its way into the Tate Modern unless put there by an artist"."
