OVERALL STRUCTURE The clear structure of this report makes it easy to follow. The introduction states that three designs were investigated. The report is then divided into three sections, each of which investigates one design. The introduction also predicates this structure by briefly introducing each of the three designs and labelling them in the same manner as the subsequent sections are labelled. 2-1 Design solutions This design team generated 3 possible solutions to the tap design problem. Two of these designs (Design A and B) are of the add-on tool design, comprising identical attachment mechanisms, with different handle designs. The third design (Design C) incorporates a redesign of the tap operating mechanism. All three designs are potential solutions for the design problem, although they each offer quite different solutions. 2. 1.1 Design A: This design is of the extension type, a larger, extended handle that solves the design problem by providing the user with a larger turning moment.......... 2.1.2 Design B: This design is a slight modification of design A. It solves the design problem with a handle that has been modified to specifically suit taps..... 2.1.3 Design C: Design C incorporates a redesign of the spindle operating mechanism of the outdoor tap. The design problem is solved by replacing the turning action of the conventional tap with a new system........ © Copyright 2000 Comments and questions should be directed to Unilearning@uow.edu.au
