"Provides a short biography of The Jaquet-Droz, father and son, and of their automata. Most importantly for this list, we learn about the chain-of-custody of those automata. We learn that the History Society of Neuchatel tried to acquire the automata in the late 19th century but it was finally Carl Marfels, collector of watches, who got them (this booklet includes his collection catalogue, "Les Montres Anciennes de la Collection Marfels", pp. 45-55, with photographs)."
