The original machine with googly eyes… Looking at what you’ve done to your pick’n’place makes me. wonder if you guys used to watch Bertha on TV when you were kids? Here’s the intro sequence that shows the original machine with googly eyes. It’s been a long time since there was a kids TV show about manufacturing! Youtube has full episodes too.
Bertha, lovely Bertha, You are a lovely machine! And anyone who works with you, Will know just what I mean! Woh! Bertha, lovely Bertha, Sometimes I think you’re a dream! And when we work out what you have to do, You can always churn the goods out, Always churn the goods out, We can depend upon you! Clicking the day, flashing the night, Your computer is shining brightly, Some people say you’ve a mind of your own, And I think that’s very likely…. likely!

God i’m old, i remember Bertha but completely forgotten all about her until now. That kind of animation is very rare these days, back then we had postman pat, bagpuss, the wombles, Bertha, the moomins, Morph, Trapdoor, The Clangers, The Magic Roundabout – These days it just seems its all CGI, shame really.

The obvious name is Sam. I know a dragon name seemed right but Sam is a soft shortening of Samsung. And Glee spoiled Pick.
