TASMANIAN INVENTOR
RIGHTS OF SELF-PLAYING GRAMOPHONE SOLD London, November 12. Mr. Eric Waterworth, 22 years of age, a native of Hobart, invented in his backyard workshop at Lansdowne Crescent, Hobart, a self-playing gramophone. He brought it to London 18 months ago and perfected it. He endeavoured to interest several firms, and waited from day to day for nine months. Now he has sold the United Kingdom rights for £25,000, and the invention will shortly be marketed. It is very simple, and it is claimed reduces the cost from £l3O to £3O. Mr. Water worth will be retained in an advisory capacity at a large salary.
