Fairchild Table-Top Projector, circa 1974
01
Artifact Overview
The American Marketing and Sales Company (AMSC) issued this projector in 1976. Salesmen used it to show a film that explained AMSC's computerized "Mowtron" mower. It ran on gasoline but took direction from an electronic sensory and guidance system -- not a human operator. The film also highlighted safety features, such as sensitized bumpers that stopped the machine when it touched an obstacle.
