Four Working Models to Cut Out and Glue Together
Automata have a long and colourful history, brought alive in this delightful collection of workingmodels to cut out and make.
Each of the mechanisms uses a different principle to generate motion - make them and you will have a great start to understanding automata.
As you operate the mechanismsthe Hopping Sheep hop energetically; the Pecking Hen pecks keenly into its feeder; the Motley Man bows and acknowledges the applause he has earned, while the Flying Fish flaps its wings and undulates delightfully.
This book is of special interest to those who like to see what remarkable things can be achieved with paper.
