TLDR
In this paper, the importance of formal documented analytical calculations regarding tradeoff decisions in the design and evolution of electronic and electro-mechanical equipment is discussed. And several quantitative tradeoff factors which convert equipment design parameters to equivalent dollar penalties and values are presented.
Abstract
This paper presents reasons for the importance of formal documented analytical calculations regarding tradeoff decisions in the design and evolution of electronic and electro-mechanical equipment. This paper offers several quantitative tradeoff factors which convert equipment design parameters to equivalent dollar penalties and values.

The Influence of Product Design on Radio Progress

R. R. Batcher, +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of typical construction methods and style concepts that were used during the past seven decades provides an index of progress as discussed by the authors, particularly those that influenced the utility of the equipment and the role of the product engineer who takes the concepts and ideas of the scientists and devises suitable designs that are effective, reliable, and producible, and of the production engineer who handles the problems attending the manufacturing of these designs.
