Westinghouse Televox Robots



In 1927-28, the Westinghouse Electric Company built its first in a series of "Robots". The Televox, or Mr Herbert Televox, as he was called was basically a voice activated remote control, that could turn on appliances wirelessly. The Telexoves (a handfull were produced) were promoted heavily in 1928, posted are images of a Televox with his creator R.J. Wesley, posed in front of a shiny new 1928 LaSalle sedan, another image shows an attendant speaking voice commands to the Televox through a telephone transmitter.
