Mornington Crescent, anyone?
Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
Frank Barnes. Actually Franklin Barnes invented a system for degaussing ships. I had to go on 'tinternet' to find that. I discovered that it was an Aussie who invented the electric drill and the 'Black Box' flight recorder.
Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
No, not Frankin Barnes either, but if you look at his listing on White Hat my "B" identity is on the same page.
Another clue then: My most famous invention was used in agriculture, not aviation, motor racing, pro athletics or fitting new soles to worn out baffies!
And I did mention that I'm dead, an ex-inventor, ceased to be, rotted away almost to nothing by now I should think.

Frank Bottrill , invented a soft ground wheel thing. That was too difficult.
Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
Can't have been too difficult or nobody would have guessed at it correctly! 
This of course means that tonight, Mister Zipgun, you are IT!
