Interesting that no mention is made in the articles found in the links to Bassett-Lowke's involvement. While better known for their model railways, BL were precision engineers that had a considerable business in making fully working museum-quality scale models of things like industrial plant and would have had the skill and expertise to construct the complex electrical and mechanical apparatus that the robot required.
