Question

Mr. Whitcomb Judson was a really clever man. He invented a special train that was pushed along by air and in 1893 he invented something like a zip(拉鏈) 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’.
