Patins Blog - After several experiments, Merlin managed to create skates
with wheels, with only one wheel on each foot.So that the invention was
complete, the inventor decided to make a triumphal presentation to show
his work to local society. He was a violinist and wanted to get into a
party slipping into your skates and playing the violin at the salon. And
that's exactly what he did: at a party, he put on his invention and
entered the hall, playing his violin.
If nothing else the difficulty of balancing on one skate of this type
that did not even have brakes, Merlin was not a great skater. Of course,
