Watch “Elektro,” the Westinghouse spokesrobot at the 1939 New York World’s Fair from the film “The Middleton Family at the New York World’s Fair” (also conveniently sponsored by Westinghouse).
Elektro walks, talks, hits on the ladies in the crowd, and even smokes cigarettes. You can view his insides here, and learn about the recent rediscovery of Elektro, who had been scattered in forgotten boxes throughout Ohio, here.
