LONDON, April 16.
Prince Philip has personally intervened to help a London mother keep her invention of a musicwriting typewriter in Britain, the “Daily Telegraph” reports.
The newspaper said the Prince approached a London firm and asked them to discuss >with Mrs Lily Pavey, aged 49, how to keep the invention from going to a foreign manufacturer.
She said people In
France, Japan and several other countries were keen to have the licence to build the typewriter, which types music and at the same time chimes the appropriate sound. Mrs Pavey’s invention won the gold award at the 1963 Brussels inventors’ exhibition.
She said she “gave” the licence to a British firm about two years ago, but the firm made about 20 of the machines and expressed no further interest.
