I thought the Robot sounded more like "Danger Will Robinson" or something
like that.
Has anybody here ever heard a relay machine running,
like one
of the early Zuse machines or the Harvard Mark-1? It occurred
to me (please don't ridicule me too much for this*) that the
sound of the robot in the old "Lost in Space" TV series may
have been intended to sound like a relay machine. I've heard
descriptions of them sounding like a thousand women knitting,
which could sort-of describe that robot sound-effect as well...
Cheers,
Bill.
