by the task. As he lay on his bed in hospital, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. Slowly, he developed a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineer again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.
