EDITORS COMMENTS
"September 15, 1928: The New Mechanical Man Makes His Historic Debut at the Model Engineering Exhibition This photograph captures the moment when the New Mechanical Man, the first British-invented robot, made his historic appearance at the Model Engineering Exhibition in London. Designed by Captain Richards and Mr. A.H. Refell, this aluminium man was an engineering marvel of its time. The robot could rise, bow gracefully, and even deliver a speech, making it a sensation among the attendees. Concealed within the robot's sleek aluminium body was an electric motor and an intricate system of pulleys and cables. The machine's innovative design was a testament to the ingenuity of its creators. The New Mechanical Man was not only a marvel of technology but also a symbol of Britain's industrial prowess. Captain Richards, in his opening speech, expressed his excitement about the potential of this new technology and its possibilities for the future. "This is just the beginning," he said. "Imagine what we can create with more advanced technology and engineering capabilities." The New Mechanical Man's first duty was to open the Model Engineering Exhibition, marking the beginning of a new era in robotics and engineering. This photograph and the accompanying sketches are a reminder of the groundbreaking achievements of Captain Richards and Mr. Refell, whose work paved the way for the robots and advanced machinery we use today."
