Fascinating, Steve, to see this, and the 1959 date makes it even more meaningful.
The automaton is capable of doing much cleaner work today. A number of conditions are contributing to the deterioriation of the drawing quality in this image, which makes it a very valuable document of the automaton's health at that time. I'm looking at the same image sharing service you used and working on setting up an account so I can upload a recent rendition of the same drawing, entitled "Chinese Temple". If you would b willing to make and email to me a high-res version of this same drawing (300 dpi would be preferred, but 200 should suffice; no need for the back of the paper), it would be much more useful to my study. I'll chime in again with a link to the current drawing shortly. Best, Andy On Apr 22, 2012, at 1:59 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Okay folks I dug out my scrapbook and made three scans.
