About This Item
A self-published treatise on the beguiling and still-controversial phenomenon of synthaesthesia, which is when a perceived sensation typically associated with one pathway such as taste, color, sound is experienced in another, i.e. "hearing colors." The author was "Bill" Griffith P. Taylor, famous for officially inventing the earliest known industrial robot in 1937, a crane-like machine called The Robot Gargantua. The designs were published in Meccano Magazine in March 1938. Given his pioneering work in robotics Taylor's thoughts on synaesthesia should hopefully prove enlightening to the curious reader. Also, his signature is quite scarce.
