In early versions of MUG, the automaton love interest was a different character named Roman, while Erris was a friendly ghost. In the original ending, Nimira thinks that Erris passes on to the next world, but he is in fact given a second chance at life as a second clockwork man. This automaton was built by Ordorio Valdana. The Queen of The Longest Night worries that an evil soul may inhabit the clockwork's body, so she asks Erris to voluntarily go into the body instead. Note: Do not expect the Ordorio that appears in the MUG sequel to bear any resemblance to the one in this comic!

Created by Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin for his stage shows.
I also took this because I know how much Flickr people love clowns.

I like the silouette's of the business people walking in the pedestrian tunnel in the foreground. Kind of cyberpunk'ish.
John Grayson's marvellous mechanical take on how the Georgians might have used social media! A brass and enamel automaton made for a museum specialising in the Georgian period.
In the staffroom at work today.

The Postcard
A postally unused Frith's Series postcard that was distributed by T. W. Phillips, City Studio, Wells. The card, which has a divided back, was printed in England.
Jack Blandiver
The Wells Nub News featured an interesting article in August 2020 about Jack Blandiver:
'He’s a very elderly gentleman, he lives in the
cathedral and his name is Jack. That part of his
name he shares with a load of other quarter jacks.
His surname is Blandiver, though in times gone by,
that was spelt Blandifer.
A quarter jack is an automaton, a device that strikes
a bell on the quarter hour. The name is probably
derived from the French, meaning a tool called a
"jacke", used by the craftsmen building church
towers, the steeplejacks.
His surname could indicate he bears the name of
his maker, a Mr Bland or even Monsieur Bland.
Jack Blandiver lives in north aisle of the cathedral,
30 feet up in the air. The empire he surveys is a
mechanical one.
He can see the internal face of the oldest surviving
clock face in the world. It dates from 1390.
As well as showing the time on a 24-hour dial, it
reflects the motion of the sun and the moon. Jack
never moves from his perch, so he finds it useful to
see the phases of the moon and the time since the
last new moon.
This way he gets to know how well the inside of the
cathedral will be lit through the long dark nights he
has to endure.
Also on the inside of the building and striking on the
hour there are miniature knights. They come out from
the clock’s workings and perform a mock joust,
knocking each other from their horses, condemned to
an eternal fight in which there will never be a winner.
The inner workings of the clock have had a chequered
history. Constructed in 1392, the clock was converted to
a pendulum and anchor escapement in the 17th. century.
The original mechanism was later given on loan to the
Science Museum in London in 1884.
Out of Jack’s sight are the external features of the clock
on the cathedral’s north side. Its outside face has a Latin
inscription "Nequid pereat" meaning "That it might not
perish" or, as a guide will tell you, "Keep busy".
Jack Blandiver certainly does that'.
