Lathe based optical scanner from the fax machine episode

The Secret Life of Machines is an amazing TV series from 1988-1993.

We shall be getting a projector and watching a few of these episodes together. It would also be fantastic if we can reconstruct some of the live demos from the show. If appropriate we can modernise a few. For instance we could investigate how a Dyson works after watching "The Secret Life of the Vacuum Cleaner".

Wednesday 17th November, 18:30

Help needed.

  • Most importantly: Hardware and volunteers for demos
  • Finding the best quality videos we can find
