Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Look pa; no arms: Joseph Bosworth of the RB Robot Corp - he's on the right - hopes to add a arm to RB5X; a squat little robot he is offering for $2;295. J.B. says RB may not know much now; but he learns fast and could become an indispensible part of Canadian households.
