The machine

Made in 1992 this automaton still can be found next to the box-office at the Tricycle Theatre. It is coin-operated and collects money for the Tricycle. The curtain opens to reveal a-day-in-the-life-of Kilburn High Road, An endless chain of traffic passes famous Blanks music shop and State Bingo Hall before plunges into a mechanical hell.
