Speaker 3: Ses.

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: If you had a granddad to invent that, you know

48
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: who it was. Come on, Rio, don't rock up here

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: from Sydney with big clams like that.

Speaker 4: Nineteen forty nine they closed the wall.

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: So how do you know this then obviously it's a

52
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: big part of your family's history. Was he an inventor?

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: Do he worked for someone?

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: Or yeah he was. He's a bit of an eccentric dude.

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: He invented the surfer plane, which is like a boogie

56
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,480

00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: Knife, which was like a bread knife of some kind.

59
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160

00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: cut bread to certain sizes.

62
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,280

Speaker 3: Oh god, those adverts.

64
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what happens to that knife? It's not really

65
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: more bitter existence right now. Obviously sandwich makers are everywhere

66
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: all over the world. But obviously the bread knife never

67
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: really took off.

68
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,840

162
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: He was high plumber for eight years seriously and his

163
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: brother when he obviously started to earn some decent money.

164
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: Is his big brother who you obviously met with drinking

165
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: with is a lovely guy. He was in a plumbing

166
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: business when another guy and his brother, because obviously his

167
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: crew was doing well, brought the other guy out and

168
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: gave his brother the business. And he used to you

169
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: see him like two or three times a year. Really

170
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: really good guy. I bet that was a great night

171
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: with them.

172
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 8: It was a massive night. I ended up getting kicked

173
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 8: out because I had too many shots with Malfoy.

174
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: He's a master of the dark arts. You know those shots.

175
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: They're easy for him. You know he can magic potion

176
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: or two. You know.

177
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a cheeky boy. It was good fun. I

178
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 8: did hold out with doing any Harry Potter references until

179
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 8: I did have a few too many and we were

180
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 8: at the urinal together and I may have just gone

181
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 8: one's that Harry.

182
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: Use one. That's the right place to do it as well.

183
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 8: Look, I say, he looked at me and he smiled

184
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 8: and just called me a name, which is pretty funny.

185
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: Brilliant Jacob, good one. Thanks for sharing that sauna mate.

186
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: Have a good day, guys.

187
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: Enjoy.

188
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: Peter Moran Christ how are you going.

189
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm good now. Peter, you got one for drinking with

190
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: the stars.

191
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a bit of a urin all morning. I

192
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: think because I was having a drink with Nick Jagger

193
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 5: in the bar when he was making the movie Ned

194
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: Kelly in nineteen sixty nine, and I'd runk previously to

195
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 5: you to tell me about meeting him into the toilet.

196
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: But Peter, I remember this was quite early when we

197
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: started last year. You were kind enough because it was

198
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: a great story that you told. The story was Jagg

199
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: would hurt his hand and you had to help him.

200
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: Go to the toilet. I quite believe you.

201
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 2: It was a great story and you had to get

202
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: the you had to help him go to the.

203
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: Toilet at the.

204
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, he'd hurt his hand. He was firing a

205
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: gun on a back fight and burnt his hands. So

206
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: when he went to the tour, he asked me to

207
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: want to do his flyer and and did his flag

208
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: for him, and he did his business and then he

209
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: asked me to do it back up again, and then

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 5: we went back to the bar and he bought bees

211
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 5: for everybody for the whole afternoon.

234
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 9: Granddad my great grandfather actually, yes, Stanley Clapton. He was

235
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 9: in World War II fighting in Papua New Guineas where

236
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 9: he carried out the late Fletcher Jones over his shoulder

237
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 9: who was injured and saved his life. Basically they became

238
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 9: very good friends after that and then went on to

239
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 9: start a business together in the back of the caravan

240
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 9: called Fletcher and Clapton, where they sold drapery and clothing

241
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 9: and things traveling around. When my great grandmother became frank,

242
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 9: she decided, yeah, my great grandfather decided he'd better go

243
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 9: and get a real job and went back to Mansfield

244
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 9: and worked in a sawmill. As Fletcher Jones went on

245
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 9: to become the Manis that well? The man said he was.

246
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: Now wasn't Fletcher Jones from Bendigo? I think originally? Was

247
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: he born in Benda I.

248
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 9: Believe, So I'm not one hundred percent on all of

249
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 9: those final details, but yeah, family.

250
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: History, yeah it should be. Actually carried him out of

00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: the jungle, yes.

252
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 9: Yes we did, and he was saved by my great grandfather,

253
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 9: which is pretty amazing in itself. But then yeah, they

254
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 9: did go on to beginner business. There is a book

255
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 9: about it, actually, Let's Jones called it not by myself

00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 9: and there's a huge section about my great grandfather in it.

00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: That's a great one, Charon. Thank you very much for

267
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: calling up. Have a good day.

268
00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 9: Thank you you too, babe.

269
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: Debor Debor Hello, ah, yes, Debor, yes, Debra.

270
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've got another one. Then grandparents claim to fame.

271
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 3: What's yours?

272
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 7: Absolutely My grandfather, Johann Reicheld, he and his brother invented

273
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 7: the combine harvester or basically what they called it, the

274
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 7: combine cultivator and twin seed and fertilizer sewing implement. Now,

275
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 7: he filed for a patent on that on February the ninth,

276
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 7: nineteen twenty. But some people came along from a bigger company.

277
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 7: I have a feeling it might have been Massy.

278
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: Ferguson Combined Harvester Manufacturers or John Darell. But anyway, one

279
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: of the big boys came along yep.

280
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 7: Like the patent, took the plans away with them and

281
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 7: ended up manufacturing it themselves, putting in a patent, and

282
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 7: they took all the credit for it and got all

283
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 7: the money he didn't have. Unfortunately, granddad didn't have the

284
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 7: money to take them to court over it, so he

285
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 7: never got any recognition for it. But I've actually got

286
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 7: copies of his patent. We were looking into trying to

287
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 7: get something back from the company, But I mean, who

288
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 7: knows what that would cost to go to court over

289
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 7: these days.

290
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: I imagine AE hundred years later, you file a lawsuit

291
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: against them.

292
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what an amazing story, Debra. Even to hear,

293
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 2: I found myself getting frustrated listening to it. It's so

294
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: unfair and you've still got the original designs in the patent.

295
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, there was a big story done. He lived

296
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 7: in at the time, he had been nil over in

297
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 7: the Wimmeror, and they did a big story in the

298
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 7: paper after he'd passed away as well.

299
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: It's so hard, isn't it to live with that kind

300
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: of frustration about something denied from him, which has coming

301
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: from your own creativity.

302
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: Yeah.

303
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 7: Look at they took years, you know, building, you know,

304
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 7: until they came up with something that worked, and then

305
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 7: to have your plan stolen and someone else getting all

306
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 7: the recognition and the money.

307
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 3: But it changed.

308
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: It was such a big thing of the agricultural revolution,

309
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 2: which farming stool uses those combine harvesters to this very day.

310
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: What do certainly, sorry, deb I'm making it worse. You

311
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: and me need to call us. You'd be a billionaire

312
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: yourself and look.

313
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 7: I could be.

314
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing story. Thank you very much to give us

315
