Material in this file was produced in 1978 and between 1990 and 2001, but predominantly between 1995 and 1996. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, presentation drawings, publication drawings, reference drawings, other drawings, presentation panels, other panels, a presentation model, other models, photographic materials, an artefact, and textual records.
