IT3101 – ITALERI - SELF PROPELLED CHARIOT Plastic Model Kit
From Their New Marvellous Machines Series
This model is a reproduction of one of the most amazing of
Leonardo da Vinci's plans.
It is known as "Leonardo's Car" although recent studies have defined it one
of the first robots in history.
The machine is drawn on page 812r of the Codex Atlanticus with other devices.
The "engine" is hidden inside the car, where a coiled spring stopped by
a mechanical brake, transfers motion to gears that move the wheels on the sides.
Another system of gears allows for constant speed, with a clockwork-like mechanism.
Secondary levers act on the two big wheels to steer the robot or move stage
props, like puppets to be carried on stage.
