Brian Fisher, of Nottingham, who is a foreman fitter with British Gypsum, has had his entry for the Bright Icieas Competition of 1978 accepted by the judges and it is now in the final 100. If he wins he will pick
up --2.1,000 or as a runner-up will collect £200.
Brian has invented a systel for underrun bumpers on trailei to warn the driver when he hE been hit or when he hits a obstruction when reversinc Operated by air pressure., it se. off a horn when the underru device comes into contact wit another object Probably two of the mo! important features of any "bol ongoody are cost and fittin time. I am told -Brian's Blaster costs £10 and takes 10 minutE to fit.
