An account of the mechanism of an automaton, or image playing on the German-Flute: as it was presented in a memoire, to the gentlemen of the Royal-Academy of Sciences at Paris. By M. Vaucanson, Inventor and Maker of the said Machine. Together with a description of an artificial duck, eating, drinking, macerating the Food, and voiding Excrements, pluming her Wings, picking her Feathers, and performing several Operations in Imitation of a living Duck: Contrived by the same Person. As also That of another Image, no less wonderful than the first, playing on the Tabor and Pipe; as he has given an Account of them since the Memoire was written.
