Headline:
Elektro (1937/38)
Bodycopy:
Elektro could walk by voice command, speak about 700 words (using a 78-rpm record player), smoke cigarettes, blow up balloons, and move his head and arms.
"His body consisted of a steel gear, cam and motor skeleton covered by an aluminum skin. His photoelectric "eyes" could distinguish red and green light."
Filmed inside the Westinghouse Pavillion at 1939 New York World's Fair:
"I am a smart fellow as I have a very fine brain."
The robot breaks a balloon:
Via Glaserei
