to meet the needs of today's professional
tradesmen. The BS12C2 two-speed drill driver
features a single-piece chuck and transmission
design, which delivers an extremely compact
machine at only 171mm in length. The two
speeds of 300 RPM and 1200 RPM means the
BS12C2 has the versatility to effectively carry
out screwdriving applications and drilling up to
20mm into softwood. The 17-step torque ad-
justment provides the right torque for every
screw size ensuring that screwdriving consisten-
cy can always be achieved. The lightweight de-
sign is extremely well-balanced and its compact
size makes it ideal for fitting into tight spaces
and for use over longer periods thanks to the
12v 1.5Ah Lithium-Ion battery. The BS12C is a
single speed drill driver using the same battery
pack. This unit has all of the same features of
the 2-speed model but has a single-speed gear-
box and measures only 160 mm in length, mak-

To celebrate its 75th anniversary this year, TRADA has
published Timber in contemporary architecture - a de-
signer’s guide, written by leading experts in timber ar-
chitecture and engineering Peter Ross, Giles Downes
and Andrew Lawrence. The beautifully illustrated
book, co-branded by RIBA Publishing, is a celebration
of timber and its contemporary uses for designers,
combining sound technical expertise with inspirational
concepts. It includes more than 300 photographs and
drawings. Timber is a flexible and aesthetically appeal-
ing material, which allows designers to develop cre-
ative, high quality, innovative and robust solutions for
their clients. The range of potential uses has been
greatly extended by significant technical innovations
over the last 25 years. In addition, timber is often pre-
ferred for its low environmental impact. Timber in
contemporary architecture investigates materials, con-
nections and applications. Excellence in timber design
is demonstrated in the last section of the book, devot-
ed to highly illustrated case studies, some award-win-
ning, some groundbreaking, all of which have been
chosen for their inspirational qualities.
