HALLO, THERE!

From an advertorial by Meccano Ltd. (makers of Hornby-Dublo trains and Dinky toy cars) in Eagle, 1960.

Am I the only person disturbed by the way this robot barges in with HALLO, THERE! and then proceeds to answer “interesting” questions about things like Walschaerts’ valve gears, questions that no normal person would ever ask?

Maybe it’s just because I’ve actually met humans who do exactly the same thing, and who don’t have the excuse of being a robot from the 1960s.
