During the late 1930s, appliances for the office and home underwent a major streamline design transformation. Even sewing machines were streamlined. The clean, airplane-like shape of the Sears Kenmore Imperial Model 117.59, designed by John Richard Morgan (1903–1986), presented a sharp contrast from the multifaceted, complex appearance of earlier sewing machine designs. "Streamlines: Air Age Aesthetics for Industrial Design" is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/Streamlines Image: Sears Kenmore Imperial Model 117.59 rotary sewing machine and cabinet, c. 1942, Collection of The Museum of American Heritage, Palo Alto, California.
