No other craft so brilliantly captures the magic of turning a
handle, icking a switch, or pulling a lever to see the unexpected
come to life. "Automata and Mechanical Toys" is a book for anyone
drawn to simple, entertaining mechanics. The book features 21
leading makers, each with a distinctive style. With 160 color
photos and 100 delightful examples of the craft, the book is a
feast for collectors and enthusiasts. A substantial section of the
book is devoted to making automata mechanisms, ideal for novices or
those wishing to learn new techniques. Illustrated, step-by-step
instructions explain how to make a bearings box, which separately
houses all the main mechanisms used in automata. The box can then
be converted to any mechanism you choose. Rodney Peppe is a winner
of the British Toymakers' Guild Toy of the Year Award; he has had
exhibitions of his work at the Victoria & Albert Museum of
Childhood. He is also the author of "Rodney Peppe's Moving Toys."
