e.g. Trevor Baylis was born in 1937, wasn't he?

Trevor Baylis is a British inventor, born in 1937. His best-known invention is the wind-up radio, which he designed after he saw a TV programme about AIDS in Africa. He tried to think up a way to provide radios to rural communities that don't have electricity. Using intelligence and a little wizardry, he produced a radio that works by turning a handle. The design was very successful and won lots of awards. Although he is in his late sixties, Trevor refuses to grow old gracefully and his lifestyle is anything but relaxing. In 2001, he completed
a nutty 100 mile walk across the Namib desert, wearing electric shoes that he had invented and raising money for charity. He has also started his own business to support other inventors and engineers. He's an amazing character!
