Product Description

Today was the usual Thursday, lots of lectures with lots of maths (Mathematics, Electronics and Mechanics). But anyway tommorow should be interesting as after a lecture in the morning we will begin working on our next assignment, which involves mking models out of blue foam. The firsat part of the project is to make an everyday item in the style of a historic design style or movement, but more on that later. The other half of it is to make a copy of an everyday, desktop sized item, however it must be copied only from a 200 word description, no seeing the actual object. So this will be done in pairs with each person providing an object description to be made. This is the description I will be giving to my partner, see if you can guess what it is or looks like.

A rectangular object with a single line of symmetry down its length. It is 14cm long, 5cm high, 5 cm wide; all the edges have been heavily rounded, especially on one of the end faces, the front of the object where the face is almost spherical. On this front end is a rectangular sheet of embedded plastic shaped to the front end, 2.5 cm high, 3.5 cm wide. On top of the object is a slightly domed length of matte material, echoing the outline of the object 10cm long and 3cm wide and placed towards the back of the top face. Towards the front of this surface is another glossy dome, shaped like an inverted tear drop, 6cm long, 2cm wide. Towards the front of this is a small oval matte dome, 2cm long, 1cm wide. 2/3 from the bottom of the object, on each side is a strip of matte material, 7cm long, 2cm high, moulded into 5 horizontal bulges, the last edge of which is 2cm from the back edge. On the bottom of the object is a strip of raised material 11cm long, 0.5 cm high, 3.5cm wide at its curved front edge, tapering to 2cm on the bottom back edge of the object, with a rectangle 2.5cm wide, 1cm long and high, placed on the material in a space cut out from the main object.

Any ideas? When the model has been made by my partner I will show their model and reveal what the actual object is.
