//Source(s): Facts paraphrased from memory of 'All Things Considered' for 31 October 1995 on National Public Radio, USA.// Trevor Bailes (pronounced Bail-Es) of England was listening to the radio one morning when he heard a news broadcast on AIDS in Africa. Many people there could not get health information over radio because they could not afford batteries. He went into his workshop and produced a clockwork radio: two minutes of winding produce fourteen minutes of reception. There is now a factory for production (staffed entirely by the handicapped) in Africa, with more planned in other countries. Bailes said his next project was to do the same for computers.

Musician Brian Eno says: "The radio is really good by the way. I have a preproduction model which has a rather noisy spring, but I think that problem is unique to mine. But do get a radio! You'll love it. I think they are just starting to sell them in America." Stay tuned for lots more collectors information and feel free to share your own!
