MPX5068055: Robots: On the Army stand the Royal signals were showing Signal-man Magnetron the Electronic Robot. The aluminium clad robot is mounted on a perspex column to show that he has no wires or strings attached. Visitors are invited to speak to him and he answers their questions. But in between demonstrations the robot developed indigestion and soldiers from the Royal Signals had to apply some technical aid and soon had him working again. August 1964 P018758 / Bridgeman Images
