  * Lori Dorn

    

A May 1977 clip from the classic BBC series Tomorrow's Word, uploaded
by the BBC Archive, explains how Denys Fisher developed the
Spirograph drawing toy in 1967. It turns out a simple pound note gave
Fisher the idea for his award-winning design.

    After studying the intricate designs of a pound note, Denys
    Fisher came up with the idea for the legendary pattern-drawing
    toy, Spirograph. It won the Toy of the Year in 1967

The cameras caught up with Fisher at his farm in rural Scotland,
where he was working on a new toy.

    Tomorrow's World caught up with him in rural Scotland, hard at
    work on his next creation.
