| Abstract | Young Jim West loves to pull apart whatever electronics he can get his hands on to see how they work. Those around him say there's no path for a kid like him to become a scientist, but Jim is determined to forge his own way. His knack for all things electric (and luck in landing a summer job offering the freedom to experiment) lead him to invent an important part of the devices we rely on every day. |
