Re: Invented by a Used car salesman
Many years ago now, I had a neat self-winding pocket camera.
My dad took it away on holiday and it broke. So he bought me a new one. I couldn't find it anywhere except that I'd seen it as an own brand in Dixons. It was identical to mine and close to the same price. But it didn't work very well, the film kept slipping when it wound on. Luckily dad, for some reason, had the original one still. So I compared them. The little toothed wheel inside the new one was flimsy plastic. In the original it was steel.
I was annoyed enough to dismantle them both. Almost all the moving parts were exact copies in poorer materials.
