Pioneering home computer company of the 1980s, largely controlled by its founder, Sir [Clive Sinclair]?. Formed in the 1960s selling electronics components, made radios, small TVs, calculators and digital watches, but did not become truly successful until the release of the ZX80, ZX81 and the ZX Spectrum. Followed these successful products with the Sinclair QL (short for Quantum Leap) which, despite its technical merits, sold poorly. The [C5 electric car]?, a supposedly cheap and efficient form of transport, was perhaps a bigger commercial disaster. Sinclair Research continues to exist and its founder continues to work in research, recently inventing an ear-piece radio and an electric bicycle motor.
