Поставте 6- 7 питань різних типів Trevor Baylis was born in London in1937. After studying engineering at
college, he became a swimming pool salesman, and worked as an inventor
in his spare time. Many of his inventions were designed to help disabled
people.
In 1993, he saw a programme on television about Africa. The programme
said that radio was very useful for people living there, but, unfortunately,
many people could not afford electricity or batteries for radios. Trevor found a
solution to this problem by inventing a radio that worked by a clockwork. You
just wind a handle and that provides the power for the radio.
Trevor's clockwork radio was shown on a science programme on the British
television called Tomorrow's World'. A South African businessman and an
accountant heard about Trevor's invention and set up a company to make
clockwork radios. They employed disabled people in their factory. Although
it wasn't very high-tech, the clockwork radio was a great success. Trevor
received several awards for his invention, including one from the Queen.
