Although bike and cycle are used interchangeably to refer mostly to two types of two-wheelers the
terms still vary across the world. In India for example a cycle refers only to a two-wheeler using
pedal power whereas the term bike is used to describe a two-wheeler using internal combustion
engine or electric motors as a source of motive power instead of motorcycle/motorbike.

Before the advent of industrial design, cabinet makers were responsible for the conception and the
production of any piece of furniture. In the last half of the 18th century, cabinet makers, such
as Thomas Sheraton, Thomas Chippendale, Shaver and Wormley Brothers Cabinet Constructors,
and George Hepplewhite, also published books of furniture forms. These books were compendiums
of their designs and those of other cabinet makers. The most famous cabinetmaker before the
advent of industrial design is probably André-Charles Boulle (11 November 1642 – 29 February
1732) and his legacy is known as "Boulle Work" and the École Boulle, a college of fine arts and
crafts and applied arts in Paris, today bears testimony to his Art.[1]
