Who came up with the invention for wfmachines
« on: August 02, 2006, 11:39:08 pm »
 I was wondering where all this technolidgy came from and who came up with the first ever pure water window cleaning machine.

Did the idea come from America, japan china or somewhere else.

Tommy Tucker wanted to clean the silo sides of his farm buildings circa 1969, the wfp was born. It was one paragraph on a pice of news cutting that was wrapped around some supplies I had from the states in 1998. After a friend died from a fall of a step ladder I went on to develop my original backpack because the  suppliers that year didnt want to know about selling systems less than 20K

Hi,

Tommy might well have to sing for his supper because I Presume that it is not patented technology?

As everyone has said Tucker pole USA was the first, as for it being in the UK, that happen in 1997  BY OVER THE TOP which was owned by Craig Mawlam so the first WFP in the UK was a Reach & Wash System
