Why Is Leslie Kay Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Leslie Kay was a British–New Zealand electrical engineer, particularly known for the development of ultrasonic devices to assist the blind. Early life and family Kay was born in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England, on 14 January 1922, the son of a colliery manager. He left school at the age of 14, and accepted an electrical apprenticeship at the local colliery managed by his father, and took night classes in electrical engineering.
