A FEW brief words on the Total Quality Control concept where in embraced the whole brief of the Quality Engineer — the field of design (conformance with constructor's requirements), manufacture (conformance with specifications) and reliability (conformance with users' requirements). Ideally the Quality Engineer will liaise with both Sales and Design engineers to achieve complete drawing board conformance with customer requirements at the design stage and it is at this stage where, of course, a designer needs to know exactly what is wanted of him. More important, he needs room for manoeuvre, for alternative proposals. As far as concerns aircraft, it is not so long since the tyre designers used to be faced with the appalling difficulty of being presented with a hole of very limited dimensions in each wheel bay into which he had to fit a tyre or tyres come what may. Apart from the limited dimensions of the hole, its dimensions were usually by this time inviolable. If we were lucky we would have some idea of the aircraft take-off and landing weights and speeds, essential parameters with which the tyre designer commences his calculations.
