' M"EDFORD MAIL TRt"BtrN"B. TyfEDFORD. OREO ON. THTTRSDAY. NOVEMBER 17, 1038. PAGE ELEVEN r BY LIFTING FACE OF ALARM CLOCK Henry Dreyfuss Advances to Front of Industrial De signers After . Changing Form of Ugly Timepiece NEW YORK (AP) R ime ra br several yean back when the alarm clock had Its face lifted? The tubby looking tin number that was always topllng over on Its tiny feet suddenly came out with a substantial bass and thinner lines. That change was dictated by ft young man who had been designing stage setB. Name : Henry Dreyfuss, Present age: 34. Born: New York. Works here. Married. Lives In a pent house. That clock put him Into a profes sion so new it had no nams. Now It hs one: Industrial designing. Thers are several industrial designers, but Dreyfuss was a pioneer and he's still a leader. A Trio of "Easlers" The thing that makes him tlok j Is his desire to redesign objects so ! they will be easier to use. to keep ; clean and to look at. When that hap pens, he says, sales Jump, whether It happens to Ice picks or trains. And Dreyfuss has deslgneed both. He did the new Twentieth Century limited. He started as a stage designer at 10 and kept at It until a large store wanted him to redesign kitchen uten sils. He turned that down, but set out on the same road himself. The clock Job was the result. Since then he's dipped his flngors Into the average home a dozen times. Take Ice picks. The manufacturer of one type wanted to boost sales. His pick had a long handle, not very easy to grasp. It chipped Ice and that's about all. First, Dreyfuss turn ed the handle Into a ball that fit the hand snugly. Then he flattened one side so It wouldn't roll when you laid It on the table. And he put a piece of metal into the flattened part that made the handle a swell hum mer for cracking the Ice after you'd chipped it off the cake. Another time be tackled a washing machine. He went to the factory and ran one. The controls were on the aide, and he grew tired bending over to find them. The Dreyfuss model has controls on top In plain sight, and the machine is encased In a white metal cylinder that's easy to keep clean. Tip From Juggler He got another Idea because he travels everywhere by plane. He no ticed that stewardesses had trouble Juggling lunch trays when a plane spill-proof lunch tray of paper mache. it's the size of a portable typewriter. The dinner plate Is merely an Indentation tn the tray. Several paper cups are set around the edge In other Indentations that prevent them from spilling. A top fits over the whole tray to keep the food warm. And the trays are so Inex pensive they can be thrown away. That means no washing and stor ing of dishes. Dreyfuss Is entranced with his Twentieth Century. It's sheer swank on wheels. Inside It Is two shades of gray with accents of rust and royal blue. Outside it's grey with accents of shining aluminum and blue. The club car has cork walls with strips of copper for accent. Dreyfuss does n't like the old facing-forward of train chairs, so his club car couches are grouped as they are In a real club lounge. But the gadget that really pleases the traveling boys and girl la the speedomoter In the ob servation car. Dreyfuss put tht In because he had so much fun watch ing the speedometer In the railroad president's private car.
