ENGINEER DESIGNS A WHEELCHAIR THAT COSTS $41.17

Don's approach to this design was to use components that are

manufactured in high volume for other products. By this method, we

enjoy a low piece price cost. He removed every extra feature possible,

ending up with the least expensive design that will satisfy a large

portion of the world's need for wheelchairs. This wheelchair design

lends itself to manufacture by highly efficient companies where

assembly costs are relatively low.

I was an aircraft mechanic in an earlier part of my life and these

articles catch my attention.
