U.S. ROBOTS & MECHANICAL MEN ROBOT MANUAL

One of my favorite short stories is "Robbie" by Isaac Asimov.  If you're not familiar with the story, it's about a little girl with a robot babysitter.  The robot was purchased by her parents from U.S. Robots and Mechanical Men Inc., in the year 1996.  Here's the manual cover for the RB series robot -



I created the Robbie manual cover using this 1967 robot header control manual.  I have no clue what a robot header control does, but it has to do with farm tractors.  As you can see, I didn't have to change much.
