Hey guys so today in our hurumanu 3 we had to choose an New Zealand inventor, me and my friend did it together.
Ernest Godward / The Egg Beater
Who is Ernest Godward?
Ernest Godward was an English born inventor who moved to New Zealand. He was born in Marylebone, London on 7 April 1869. He was an engineer. He has invented many inventions.
What inventions did Ernest Godward make?
Ernest Godward had invented and patented an egg-beater that could prepare eggs for a sponge cake in three and a half minutes. He had also invented a new post-hole borer, a new type of hair curler, a burglar-proof window and a hedge trimmer made from bicycle parts.
When and why did he invent the egg beater
Ernest Godward made the egg beater in 1900. He made the egg beater so it would be easier for people to beat eggs for cakes mainly for sponge cakes. (That's all the information I could find on why he has made the egg beater.)
Facts:
--When Ernest Godward was 12, he was sent to prep school (private school) but after he ran to the seas landing in Japan, where he worked at a cabling ship between Nagasaki and Vladivostok, where the big US bomb landed and destroyed almost everything.
--He was also a son of a firefighter.
Kia ora Artee. It's great to know that a New Zealander invented the egg beater! I couldn't read all of your blog post because the words have gone off the side of the page. Please fix this up so I can learn more about this invention. Mrs Hastie
