Drawings & Development | Sinclair Spectrum Computers

ZX80, ZX81, Spectrum Projects by Rick Dickinson...

Here's a selection of some of the industrial design Rick Dickinson did at Sinclair, showing development drawings and models. It's a fantastic insight into how the computers were designed and developed.

Also a collection of Sinclair manual cover design and vintage advertisements.
