<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Industrial design does not just mean automotive style streamlining. There is plenty of industrial design in equipment where form follows function such as bulldozers and modern freight locomotives. If there were not, it would look homemade. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">When Dillworth supposedly said he was making the GP-7 intentionally ugly, you have to consider the context of the times. That was in the streamlining era when trains were expected to have the automotive style version of industrial design. The GP-7 did not need that, so it was made functional looking. But there was still plenty of excellent industrial design in that endeavor. </span> </p>
