A thread going through a whole bunch of fascinating - and sometimes
wonderful - designs that didn't make it to production, or not even past
the early design process. As the author also says, it's a real shame
that no.5 "Jonathan" didn't make it through. Lots of the others would
have been amazing too.

My favourites are the Snow White designs, which still look fresh and clean.
