1Good morning, Mrs Collins.
2I just wondered if you could help me with this entry form for the Young Electronic Engineer competition.
3Hello, John.
4Oh, you've made the jigsaw for blind children, with the bleeper.
5When they put a piece in correctly, that's right.
6Okay, let's have a look at the form.
7Right, thanks.
8I've never filled in one of these before, so...
9Well, let's just do it in pencil first.
10So, name of designers...
11Well, Anne helped me with some of the electronics work.
12Then you must put her name in as well.
13Right...
14Ann Ray.
15Sorry. It's ANNE
16and her surname is spelt REA.
17Good start! Okay...
18REA.
19And age is easy. You're both 16.
20What have you called the design? Keep it short.
21What about jigsaw puzzle design for visually handicapped?
22Too long.
23Just say blind puzzle, that'll do.
24Okay.
25Right, now, size of equipment?
26I've got it noted down here...
27um, yes, length, sorry, width is 20 centimetres.
28Okay.
29Length is 50 centimetres,
30and then the depth is... well, it's very little.
31What would you say? I think you can be approximate.
32I'd say 2.5 centimetres.
33And the electricity supply?
34Is it mains operated?
35No it isn't, it's actually battery.
36Okay, write battery.
37Fine.
38Okay. It's the next bit that I'm really not sure what to put.
39Well, special features means...
40what is really new about this, you know, suitable for the group you made it for.
41Well, it's safe for children.
42That's fine. Put that in.
43Okay, and of course we think it's educational.
44There you are, you've done it.
45Anything else?
46Well, I think the price is good.
47That's probably the most important factor.
48Okay... cheap price.
49Which brings us on to the next bit.
50What's the cost?
51Well, the pieces we made out of old wood...
52they cost, ooh, $5.
53And the electrics?
54They were more expensive... say, $9.50.
55Brilliant.
56Now what do they mean by other comments?
57It's just a chance for you to say anything about the equipment, and problems you envisage.
58Well, we would really like help with making plastic instead of wooden pieces.
59Well, put something like, need help to make plastic pieces.
60Okay.
61And the other thing is, we'd like to develop a range of sizes.
62That's fine, then, just put that.
63And the last bit is,
64when will you send the equipment?
65Well, we've got a lot of work on at the moment and...
66we want to get it as good as we can.
67Well, say 25th of June?
68Can't we make it later?
69Well, the last date is the 1st of July.
70Why not say that?
71Okay, that's what I'll put.
72So, that's the lot!
73That's brilliant.
74Thanks very much, Mrs Collins.
75I'll send it off straight away.
76Glad to be of help.
77Very best of luck to you both.
78Thanks, bye.
79Bye.
