The Machine Continues. . .

I've been scouring through the thrift stores the past couple days looking for electronic/mechanical devices that we will be integrating into our projects. I picked up an old computer, an electric typewriter, a slide projector and a Paymaster X-900 cheque imprinter. The cheque imprinter is a nice piece of equipment - made of solid metal and has a great hand crank that powers it. Pictures will be posted soon.

Continued work on the "Actuator Theatre" today. I finished constructing the pulleys and designed crankshafts to power the Artoblevski machines.


Pulling the braided fishing line attached to the pulleys causes the whole contraption to spring to life.



Here's a video of it in action:
