Ah pretty little of it.
Dancing on their toes.
What they are really thinking of nobody knows as a matter of fact puppets don't
think at all. They don't have to they get everything they want by pulling strings
or rather by having somebody else pull the strings for them all these motions are
the work of the artist to manipulate the control stick a twist of the wrist tension
on the strings a crook of the finger or a gentle swerve of the arm
and Algate think us perform cleverly for the delight of beholder.
The puppet here can
and down his character with surprisingly like like most through the movement of his
hand he gives his wooden mannequins all the characteristics of a living breathing
person live remote control a puppet here put his characters through any desired
action there is of course the necessity for close study of action in real life so
that it can be cruel to interpret it. Then with what seems to be a minimum of.
Finger and arm movement the control stick is pushed turned
and Bob the strings actuate the puppet
and we see a remarkable natural portrayal of life.
This is a form of remote control
that brings much pleasure in the entertainment field from opera to burlesque the
hands of the property are sent signals of action to actors on the stage
and it's strictly a one man show
some of the most amazing theatrical effects brought about by remote control take
place on stages in modern theatre audiences in these there is witness instantaneous
changes of the leverage spectacle as huge stage setting rise
or disappear at unpredictable moment.
Actually the stage is a series of elevators
that are controlled from the switchboard pushing one of these buttons is the only
physical labor connected with moving the stage elevator then pressure goes to work
pushing up huge platforms which make up the state the control system is so
elaborate yet function so easily and swiftly
that amazing scenic changes a possible during a very short blackout through the
magic of remote control all things become possible to the men who planned
and designed spectacles for the modern theatre every form of showmanship is
utilized on stages where the mere pushing of a bunch of pulling of a lever creates
magical effects for an audience effects that add novelty
and to artistic setting even
more dramatic in these days of increased so that
when our nation's industrial centers must be tied even more closely together.
Are the systems of remote control
that guide railway transportation in swift sure passing.
Down single tracks thunder past passenger and freight trains
and on the scene hand moves in a tower miles away a switch clicks a
signal is displayed America's commerce moves with no time lost no unnecessary stops
a freight moves into a side of a limited rollers through a long America's extensive
system of railways operators sit in control rooms
and what illuminated diagrams showing positions of all train traffic intersections
without leaving his position.
The operator can route trains around each other by pushing a button
that sets which is one hundred miles away uncounted hours
and thousands of stops are saved by these systems remote control has brought
greater safety and efficiency to railroading
or automobile traffic a still more elaborate system of control is saving time
and fuel for motorists the newest development called The Magic Box of problems
amazing mathematical feats.
In a sense the mechanism
that controls this signal light is able to add subtract multiply
and divide the passing automobiles at this intersection.
There are three magic controllers between them they are able to keep heavy traffic
moving with a minimum of stops
and delays direction signal changes are determined by the density of traffic moving
through the green light the number of cars waiting on a red light in the length of
time they waited
and an estimate of the number of cars approaching from each direction.
All this figuring is done by the Magic Box controller.
Automobiles approaching any of the signal lights are counted by a system of magnets
under the street these cars are recorded by the controller and
when enough are waiting. They will be give. On the right of way automatically.
Actually this system of remote control is extremely complicated.
The Magic Box must keep track of the speed
and density of the traffic on the green light giving a talk on the real sufficient
time to get from the magnet through the light.
While still keeping track of the density and waiting time of traffic
that may be held up by red lights.
Other equally confusing information is taken into consideration by this magic box
but fortunately all the motorists need know is
that a remarkable system of remote control has made it easier for him to get
through traffic starting
and stopping for the motorist has been greatly simplified by another part of remote
control that is engineering into the automobile.
Like the gentle twist of a puppet string or the push of a button
that sets tons of stage into motion the automobile driver can put the powerful
engine of his car into gear with a slight slip of a thing around a lever this work
doesn't even require separate Motors or hydraulic pressure.
For a vacuum on produce inside the engine performs the action pressure in a
powerful vacuum chamber does eighty percent of the job of shifting gears.
While the driver retains just enough of the control to be the real boss at all
times in no other application does the use of remote control benefit us so much for
shifting gears in our automobiles is an act we execute more often than we realize
yet we have come to perform this action without consciousness of the number of
times because with our bank you want power gearshift.
Ours is merely the light task of remote control while the real work is done through
vacuum on power remote control is a big factor in modern living yet
because it is a development intended to save us from unnecessary work.
It is something we know very little about in fact we do very little merely pull a
lever or push a button
and let something else do the work for.
