Who?

Charles Harrison, 87, Designer Who Reshaped the View-Master, Dies

Charles Harrison, an industrial designer who rethought hundreds of ordinary items, including a plastic trash bin on wheels, a see-through measuring cup and the 3-D View-Master, which were then snapped up by the nation’s burgeoning postwar middle class, died on Nov. 29 in Santa Clarita, Calif. He was 87.

Thanks for that, I hadn't heard of him even though I've been using the products he designed over the years (the see-through measuring jug and View-Master at least). Seems to have been a cool dude.
