The streamline era even invaded the toy industry in 1934. This boy looked over the latest in toy trains, a model of a record-breaking streamlined "Zephyr." The new model contrasts with the model of the older type steam locomotive.

Look at those lines!
The ultimate 1950s racer.
In 1953 the brilliant Jaguar C-Type finished 1st, 2nd, and 4th at Le Mans. To succeed it the aeronautic aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer designed a non-conformist thing of beauty.
The D-Type's sleek body covers a straight 6 cylinder 3.4 litre engine. The monocoque structure, disc brakes and fin provided stability at speeds of up to 178 mph. Three consecutive victories at Le Mans 1955 1956 1957 followed.
Leica's very first camera, the 1914 Ur-Leica, and the 100th anniversary model, the Leica T.
Designed in partnership with Audi, the minimalistic Leica T starts out as a 3.5 pound brick of aluminium, milled by machine and finished by hand.

The Supermarine S.6B was a British racing seaplane developed by RJ Mitchell of Supermarine Aviation works to take part in the Schneider Trophy competition of 1931. It represented the cutting edge of aerodynamic technology and led to the development of the WWII Supermarine Spitfire and the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
Despite the British government's pledge of support for the next race entrant after the 1929 victory, official funding was withdrawn two months later following the Wall Street Crash. This caused enormous public disappointment and after Lord Rothermere's Daily Mail newspaper launched an appeal and Lady Houston publicly pledged £100,000 the Government changed its position.
The RAF High Speed Flight was reformed and Mitchell, Supermarine and Rolls-Royce set to work with less than nine months to prepare a race entrant.
S1595 made the winning Schneider flight reaching a speed of 340 mph, flying seven perfect laps of the triangular course over the Solent, between the Isle of Wight and the British mainland. Seventeen days later, S1596 broke the world air speed record reaching 407.5 mph.
