I came across the gakutensoku robot in Wikiepedea and your website after a search on Google. This thing is fascinating. My question is how a device that size could have gone missing just like that, especially in Germany, land of the ultra tight schedules. What is the history of this machine? How could it have gone missing? For being a robot eighty years old it should have turn up somewhere. Any clues? I'm just intrigued by this story. Can you give me any more information about it? Just curious. Andres Vidal Hello, Mr MacDougall. I came across the gakutensoku robot in Wikiepedea and your website after a search on Google.
