| Description: | This seminar celebrated the life and works of Dr Alex Moulton RDI (1920-2012) engineer, designer and innovator. Alex Moulton reinvented the bicycle as the Moulton Bicycle in 1962, designed and produced numerous vehicle suspension systems, including the patented Hydrolastic and Hydragas systems which were fitted to British Leyland/Rover vehicles over a period of 40 years, and contributed the unique rubber-cone suspension to Alec Issigonis's Mini (1959-2000). A Royal Designer for Industry, member of the Fellowship of Engineering and Doctor of the Royal College of Art, Moulton was celebrated during his lifetime and his legacy continues today in the continuing work of the Moulton Bicycle Company, and in his influence on young engineers and designers. The seminar included presentations and a panel discussion with: Sir Christopher Frayling (chair), Sebastian Conran, Tony Hadland, Peter Barker, Dominic Stone, and Dan Farrell. |
