AA Archives: Peter Cave’s ‘Aquapad 1’ drawings donated.
One of the legendary juries of 1970 was conducted in a small flat near the TUC building, where Peter Cave demonstrated a working prototype of what he termed ‘Aquapad 1’: “consisting of an inflated mattress, a folding enclosure with its frame, a few water valves and some electrical apparatus. By means of simply moving about on the mattress, the user can control two different types of water spray, a fresh air supply, a light and the inflating mechanism for the mattress itself.”
