When Ysgol y Preseli student Jasmin Lewis joined staff at Narberth's Wilson Museum for a week's work experience, little did she realise how close to home one of her tasks would be.
Among the jobs 14-year-old Jasmin, of Spring Gardens, Narberth, has been carrying out this week is the preparation of a museum exhibit on her own grandfather, Narberth's electronics pioneer, Mr. Stanley Lewis.
Born in 1907, Mr. Lewis, of Gladstone Villas, St. James Street, was the founder and owner of Lewiphone Ltd., of Narberth, and was one of the pioneers of electronics in the 1930s, '40s and '50s.
He designed and built the first television receiver in West Wales, demonstrating it at the Bay Hotel, Pendine, in 1934, and designed and patented sophisticated public address systems which were used in public halls all over Wales.
Mr. Lewis was also famous for staging film shows in the town's old WI hut.
Continually inventing and improving on existing, in 1952, after two years' work, he unveiled the first electronic organ, the Orchestron - which was played for the first time by a Mr. Bevan at Tenby's Royal Gate House Hotel - although he was beaten to the race for a patent by an American who went on to develop and mass produce the idea, Mr. Hammond.
Mr. Lewis also developed and patented an electronic valve and was working on a new type of loudspeaker at the time of his death in 1974.
"We had been planning to mount an exhibition on Mr. Lewis and when Jasmin came along on work experience it was an ideal time to do it," explained Wilson Museum curator, Pauline Griffiths.
"I had already done a project on my grandfather and his shop at school, and my grandmother has helped out with the loan of a few photographs and things," explained Jasmin.
The exhibition will go on display at the museum next week.
A reconstruction of Mr. Lewis' shop can also be viewed at Scolton Manor.
