Question V
The Sussex Innovation Centre at the University of Sussex exists to
promote the 'appliance of science': taking science ideas and turning
them into business propositions.
The building has moveable walls so that a business can start small
and expand its floorspace with its turnover!
This question is about an innovator - from the city's Victorian
past.
He
was the first person in the city to have a telephone, to
have electric lights in his home. He built the first electric railway
in Britain. He also built a contraption called the Daddy Longlegs.
What 'V' was he?
