Sex Kittens and a Forgotten Famous Robot
Elektro the Robot became famous during the 1939 World's Fair in New York. He could talk, smoke and blow up balloons. His robot dog, Sparko, could bark, beg and sit. Forgotten during the war, he was resurrected in 1950 and went on tour for Westinghouse. His abilities became less impressive as time went on and he retired to an amusement park. Elektro's fame was renewed, briefly, in 1960 when he played Sam Thinko in Sex Kittens Go To College. Then Elektro was forgotten again and lay scattered in parts until he was put back together again in 2005 and went back on exhibit.
Visiting Elektro in the Mansfield Memorial Museum is not the only reason to see Mansfield, Ohio.
