Jim
Westwood, the technical mastermind behind many of Sinclair's
products and the company's chief engineer, joined the firm
in September 1963 and stayed with it for over 20 years. The
two men shared a connection even before they met: Westwood
had previously worked at an electronics store in London which
was owned by Bernard Babani, Sinclair's publisher. This gave
Westwood a good degree of familiarity with Sinclair's designs,
which prompted him to join Sinclair's fledgling company, Sinclair
Radionics. Westwood subsequently had a hand in most of the
company's products, including the calculators,
audio
equipment, computers
and flat-screen
TV.
