Episode description
It's a fun one, and some engineering history for you all... 120 years ago, give or take a few days, the patent was placed for what would become the modern windscreen wiper, a vital safety device that we all take for granted.
But how many of them can I find in the @NatRailwayMuseum ? Why do we know of so few women inventors? Why do I always end up in the Warehouse?
All questions I'll attempt to tackle LIVE(ish) at 7pm on Wednesday - and there'll be challenges for you, the viewer!
