Question

    Mr. Whitcomb Judson was really a clever man. He invented a special train that was pushed along by air and in 1893 he invented something like a zip (拉链)that could be used to open and close clothes. It could be used on men's trousers and on ladies' dresses. He did not call his invention a "zip" but everybody says that he was the "Father of the Zip". Mr. Judson tried to sell his invention but no one wanted it because it did not work very well. A Canadian changed Mr. Judsons invention and made it better.
