MECHANICAL MAN. (Bv Cnhlc. —Press Assn.—Copyright) (Australian Press Assn. —United Service). LONDON, September 4. The “Daily Mail” states that a Robot, not merely a collection of wires and cleverly jointed steel, but a manlike figure more lifelike than the cleverest waxwork, capable of bowing, shaking hands and talking, will open the model engineering exhibition in London on September 15th. It is the invention of an engineer. A. H. Refell, assisted by a journalist.
When it opens the exhibition it will riseri’rom a chair, and deliver a speech, which will ho actually the voice of a person speaking through a wireless mechanism concealed in Robot’s throat, after which it will answer the audience’s questions. The inventors are at present dissatisfied with the movement of the lips and are making efforts to improve it.
