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 .
full details are available from Matt matt@fourteenballstoy.co.uk Exhibitions Fourteen Balls Automata were exhibited at the following venues as part of exhibitions organised by The Cabaret Mechanical Theatre. If you happen to have any photos of any of these exhibitions I would love to have them to put on the website
