John Dyson, 63-year-old inventor, gets his perfected bomber destroyer, which is mounted on a bicycle cart, ready for a tour of London streets to impress the public, December 15, 1941, since British Government authorities remain indifferent to its potentialities. Mr. Dyson blames the old-school-tie crowd in the Government for the disinterest shown in his working model. Mr. Dyson presses buttons, turns innumerable gadgets, and the steam whistles and something starts turning with squeaks of protests, and gradually the whole business starts whirling and bobbing up and down, and then, according to him, you are witnessing a model of the machine that will save any country from bombers. After lecturing the curious, he asks for coins so that he may continue his research and buy a new alarm clock, as a new clock would help the cause. (Photo by AP Photo)
