| The Fourteen Balls Toy Co. travelling show is a collection of automata produced by Matt Smith and Paul Spooner over the last eighteen years or so . They are all supplied in solid English oak display cases with laminated glass on all sides . They are all motorised and power is provided by batteries in the base which provide enough power for about six months . The cases are all self contained so no additional wiring is required making the setting up of the show easy . All that is required is lighting and plinths for the display cases . The exhibition is comprised of 40 Fourteen Balls automata as seen on the index page . full details are available from Matt Smith .
