yod dropper Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Met him at his house about 20 years back, not the usual layout inside shall we say. Typical of his type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 "In recent years Baylis complained of financial difficulties after revealing he had received little of the profits from sales of the device, and he urged the government to introduce stronger legal protection for inventors". “If you can solve a problem then you are well on your way to being an inventor”. RIP Tevor Bayliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 An interesting life and an old fashioned character. The guardian article says he died with no living relatives. Sad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
