1966 – Able Mabel – (British)
A prop for a Tomorrow's World segment in 1966 showing what Robots would be like in 1976. Although some parts appear to be electrically controlled (e.g. the popping eyes which are connected to the antenna 'ears'). the black slot is probably for the hidden operator to see what they are doing. The arms are retractable and swing back into the body, and appear to be controlled by the hidden operator. The re-charging capability is a mock-up, and for accuracy when plugging in the film is run in reverse.
