Nice site Mike! It remind me some Jules Verne's tales. Did a female variant exist too? That poor male boilerplate looks a little bit sad: no fun at all for him, just work or war, damned robot life!<br>

If I understand the article at the second site, there was no female variant, because the male one did not exist in the first place! Or did I miss the irony in your message...<br>

I think I could detect a distinct blue finish, or was that just the modern reconstruction by Deepeeka? <p></p><i></i>
