Hidden Motors Give Life to Prehistoric Monsters - Popular Mechanics, June 1933 (via)

Saber-toothed tigers, giant ground sloths, and dinosaurs, inhabitants of the earth millions of years ago, have been reproduced mechanically by the New York firm of Messmore and Damon for exhibition this summer at the Chicago World’s Fair. Within a huge hemisphere of metal, they will give visitors a glimpse of the world as it was long before man appeared. (P.S.M., June ‘32, p. 16.) Controlled electrically, the mechanical monsters swing their heads, roll their eyes, breathe, snarl, roar, and grunt in realistic fashion. A complicated mass of cogs, wheels, bellows, and silent motors produces the life-like sounds and motions. Beneath the canvas and papier-mache hide of each animal there are from one to sixteen electric motors. An operator controls the actions of the exhibits. At the World’s Fair, they will be seen in an environment of prehistoric vegetation.

I remember being given these as a child and never really knowing what I was supposed to do with them, so I would attempt to peel off the lousy “plastic wrapping” in order to get to the foam dinosaur. After getting only a miniscule portion of the wrapping off, I’d throw them away out of frustration. Truthfully, I hadn’t figured out how these worked until a couple years ago at Josh & David’s Pre-Giving Thanksgiving 2006 party. Dissolve them in water? OH! Luckily, I wasn’t one of those kids that ate things, but it would’ve made for a good story if I did.
