As a child, Artie had an accident at the mill badly injuring his leg, which had to be amputated. Perhaps spurred by this setback he developed a fascination for engineering, which saw him make a device so he could still pedal his bicycle while wearing a wooden leg.

Having entered a competition in The Model Engineer magazine, his prize was a book called ‘Modern Views of Magnetism and Electricity’. It was to be the spark which would ignite his interest in radio.
He became known throughout the area as something of a character, with his gadgets like the specially adapted bicycle. Artie’s reputation as teenage boffin was cemented as he began putting up wire aerials for the radio he was building.
