Item 31, you state The rotary clothes line was invented by Hill.
This is not correct, it was in fact invented by Gilbert Toyne in 1925, he had a patent on this design but after returning from the second world war he let the patent lapse, Hill noticed this and took over the patent. He then slightly redesigned the lone so as to avoid confusion and went about claiming the invention as his own. The rest is history.
