+Yorkshire Yellow Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? I think we're going to need a clue, if we're going to have a chance of getting this one. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Back into history we go ... Who designed and made the modern zip fastener, when and where? I think we're going to need a clue, if we're going to have a chance of getting this one. Well I googled it days ago and I've never heard of either of the two people cited as the inventor on wikipedia, I'd never get it even with a clue. Quote Link to comment
