    He also harboured the cuckoo clock he was given for his seventh birthday, the telescope he bought for seven shillings at ten, and the boy's bike he rode until his late 70s, when he had to have a replacement knee and his bicycle was not in first-rate form either.

    That's very sad. A pioneer with a unique, engineer's approach to solving problems.
