This book is an innovative, interdisciplinary study of the nature
of design as a form of communication within and across Britain and
its empire in the long nineteenth century. In this period, Britain
had developed from the world's first industrial nation into the
'Workshop of the World' but how were technological innovations
translated and communicated across the imperial territories? How
were designs turned into reality? This book explores these themes,
incorporating archival case study technologies such as trains,
sugar manufacture and agricultural technologies. Using a four-part
framework we firstly examine the identification of innovation
opportunities and how these translated to engineering
specifications. The realization of conceptual designs through
collaboration and their subsequent manufacture and distribution as
finished products are then reviewed. Using the authors' expertise
in the fields of historical and design engineering, this study
contributes real-world case studies to design theory.
