What a small world, my Dads best friend in the RAF (Royal Air Force) was Bernard Chapman, my Dad was his best man at his wedding.
Bernards son, Julian was best man at my wedding in 2005.
Julian came to work for us in the late 1980's to continue his fathers project, as his father had died earlier that year.
It was a braille reader which connected to the serial output of a PC, back in the DOS days.
Windows pretty much killed the project, but his son pivoted to a company selling electromechanical devices (solenoids, stepper motors etc...) that he became expert at while developing the Braille machine.
He bought that company out after the hostile takeover of Densitron and runs it to this day it is:
