Here’s a 1950’s children’s cartoon, Felix the Cat. “Master Cylinder” is introduced in this episode. Some of the science demonstrated in this episode:

- Coherent solenoidal optical tractor beam

- Levitation of biological organisms via a superconducting magnet

- Whole-brain scanning and uploading to a non-biological brain emulator

- Realtime telescopic photonic image processing, enhancement and display

- Fully articulated robotic arm with semi-anthropomorphic end effector

- EMP (electromagnet pulse) weapon

Yeah, our grandparents were smarter than we are.
