Trivia

Locusts are depicted in one of the Schematic tapestries, as shown to the right. The description of the tapestry describes them as "a device to dig and organize materials," and "a little helper."

A device to dig and organize materials. Think of it as a little helper. One of his first automatons. They were precocious little things, always jittering about. Many of us took them as pets: a jolly companion for the workshop or the dig.
