  2. I just wondered if you could help me with this entry form for the Young Electronic Engineer competition.
  3. Hello, John.
  4. Oh, you've made the jigsaw for blind children, with the bleeper.
  5. When they put a piece in correctly, that's right.
  6. Okay, let's have a look at the form.
  7. Right, thanks.
  8. I've never filled in one of these before, so...
  9. Well, let's just do it in pencil first.
  10. So, name of designers...
  11. Well, Anne helped me with some of the electronics work.
  12. Then you must put her name in as well.
  13. Right...
  14. Ann Ray.
  15. Sorry. It's ANNE
  16. and her surname is spelt REA.
  17. Good start! Okay...

  20. What have you called the design? Keep it short.
  21. What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?
  22. Too long.
  23. Just say blind puzzle, that'll do.
  24. Okay.
  25. Right, now, size of equipment?
  26. I've got it noted down here...
  27. um, yes, length, sorry, width is 20 centimetres.
  28. Okay.
  29. Length is 50 centimetres,
  30. and then the depth is... well, it's very little.
  31. What would you say? I think you can be approximate.
  32. I'd say 2.5 centimetres.
  33. And the electricity supply?
  34. Is it mains operated?
  35. No it isn't, it's actually battery.

  37. Fine.
  38. Okay. It's the next bit that I'm really not sure what to put.
  39. Well, special features means...
  40. what is really new about this, you know, suitable for the group you made it for.
  41. Well, it's safe for children.
  42. That's fine. Put that in.
  43. Okay, and of course we think it's educational.
  44. There you are, you've done it.
  45. Anything else?
  46. Well, I think the price is good.
  47. That's probably the most important factor.
  48. Okay... cheap price.
  49. Which brings us on to the next bit.
  50. What's the cost?
  51. Well, the pieces we made out of old wood...
  52. they cost, ooh, $5.
  53. And the electrics?
  54. They were more expensive... say, $9.50.
  55. Brilliant.
  56. Now what do they mean by other comments?
  57. It's just a chance for you to say anything about the equipment, and problems you envisage.
  58. Well, we would really like help with making plastic instead of wooden pieces.
  59. Well, put something like, need help to make plastic pieces.
  60. Okay.
  61. And the other thing is, we'd like to develop a range of sizes.
  62. That's fine, then, just put that.
  63. And the last bit is,
  64. when will you send the equipment?
  65. Well, we've got a lot of work on at the moment and...
  66. we want to get it as good as we can.
