Garco Robot – 1953 Harvey G. Chapman Jr - - The man, called by its creator "Garco," for the Garret company, for which Chapman is an engineer, duplicates, precisely and accurately, its operator's motions. Garco is an electronic man. That means, electrical circuits cause him to move his body, head and arms.

To start Garco going, Chapman opens the electrical circuits, sending electricity surging through the complete metal body. Chapman lays his right arm along an electromechanical counterpart of Garco's right arm'.

As Chapman bends his arm, the robot's right arm twists and turns. It's a miracle of electronics that makes the robot move. Five joints in the control arm move.

Five joints in the control arm move. Through several electronic channels the movements notify sensing devices in the "brain." The sensing devices in turn cause electric motors in the arm to move in the required directions. A total of 22 buttons control the left hand, arm joints, jaw and lip, and eyes. Vacuum applied to rubber-tipped fingers of the left hand cause this hand to pick up small objects.
