The London Transport Underground Map and the Volkswagen Beetle

Description

In section one of this program, London's massive subway system is described in conjunction with the stylized map-the brainchild of an electric circuit diagram designer-that since 1933 has made sense of it. Section two focuses on Ferdinand Porsche's people's automobile: the Volkswagen Beetle, an emblem of industrial Modernism supported by Adolf Hitler and adored by drivers on both sides of the Atlantic since the mid-1950s.
