Antoni Gual: (1953) My Dad's robot: In the 50's my father Antoni Gual Segura and his job mates at the local radio station Radio Vilafranca designed and built "El Chispas" (Sparks). It moved its arms, spoke and had a window at its navel where you could see sparks. It made a big sensation in the Fiesta Mayor of that year! Ten years ago, visiting the rural church of Torrelles de Foix we had the ocasion to meet the priest that had married my parents in 1956, he still had the robot in a corner of his house.
