Henry Drawing Machine Two goes to London Posted: 11 October 2021
September 23, 2021: The London Science Museum collected Henry's Drawing Machine Two and a donated artwork, from Elaine's residence in Manchester.
For the first time in over 60 years, Elaine's family no longer possess one of their father's beloved drawing machines.
The machine, which has remained inoperable since its return from the American leg of Cybernetic Serendipity (1968), now forms part of the Museum's permanent collection.
