“I started making this thing using one of the boxes I had ready for the other four-faced machines but I found that I couldn’t get enough movement in the door to reveal the fly satisfactorily. I made a slightly bigger box to accommodate the cam mechanism, then I found I had to make a new body for the frog. In the end only the head remains from the original effort. Now I’ve got all these parts left over. I’ll find a use for most of them.”
