Edmund Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 May I introduce you to Thomas Frederick John Truss, born in Camberwell in 1869 but in 1914 moved to Wincobank Avenue. He was the inventor of television - predating Logie-Baird by months. Also the Death Ray, improvements to submarines. ship motors, propellers His 1905 screw propeller US Patent: http://www.google.com/patents?id=6AxEAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=2#v=onepage&q&f=false Death Rays: Television: He was obviously a very clever man, though the passing of the years tends to turn inventors into sources of great amusement. I wonder why he chose to leave London and come to Wincobank in 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
