Littman to demonstrate iconic technology from early 20th century

By Teresa Riordan On July 19, 2012 · In mechanical and aerospace, Uncategorized
The Engi­neer­ing School is host­ing an ice cream social August 21 at 4 p.m. to show­case Pro­fes­sor Michael Littman’s dis­play of iconic (and beau­ti­ful) engi­neer­ing objects from the early 20th cen­tury. Littman, a pro­fes­sor of mechan­i­cal and aero­space engi­neer­ing, will give a short talk and demon­stra­tion of early tele­phones, radios, phono­graphs, and a player piano — all work­ing devices.
The event will take place in the Friend Cen­ter Atrium and is free and open to the public.
Littman’s dis­play cases are across the hall from Princeton’s Art of Sci­ence exhibit. Both exhibits are located in the Friend Cen­ter for Engi­neer­ing Edu­ca­tion, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mon­day through Friday.
