Robots: On the Army stand the Royal signals were showing Signal-man Magnetron
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

In this print titled "Robots: On the Army stand the Royal signals were showing Signal-man Magnetron" we are transported back to August 1964. The image showcases an extraordinary sight - Signal-man Magnetron, the Electronic Robot, proudly standing on the Army stand. Clad in aluminium and mounted on a perspex column, this remarkable creation is presented wire-free, demonstrating its advanced technology. Visitors at the exhibition were invited to engage with Signal-man Magnetron by speaking to him and asking questions. With astonishing precision, he would respond intelligently, leaving spectators in awe of his capabilities. However, even robots can experience hiccups occasionally. In between demonstrations, our mechanical friend developed indigestion – a technical glitch that required immediate attention. Ever-ready soldiers from the Royal Signals swiftly came to his rescue and applied their technical expertise to rectify the issue. Their skillful intervention ensured that Signal-man Magnetron was up and running again in no time. This photograph captures not only a fascinating moment in history but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation and progress within military realms during the 1960s. It serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our unwavering curiosity about what lies beyond conventional boundaries. As we gaze upon this intriguing snapshot from Memory Lane Prints' collection by Mirrorpix, let us marvel at how far we have come since those early days of robotic exploration while eagerly anticipating what future advancements may bring forth for mankind's relationship with machines.
