Description: | The "Atlas" Parcel Carrier was essentially an adjustable strap that could be used as a harness around heavy items, making their transport easier and less tiring to the hands. The product has been given a weighty classical name: in Greek mythology, Atlas was the Titan who supported the weight of the heavens on a pillar. As the Greeks conceived of the universe as concentric (with the Earth at the centre), Atlas is traditionally depicted holding a sphere. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Science And Technology Trade And Economics | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
