The infernal machine racket is a
cut throat one and it isn't surprising that it can lead to some
unpleasant episodes. In 1924, a Mr. A. Roberts came forward and
claimed before the world press that Grindell-Matthews was a fraud and
that he was the true inventor of death ray. Unfortunately, when
he set out to prove this the results were less than climactic as we
see Mr. Roberts demonstrating his ray gun by using it to stop a
motorcycle engine.
Not so much a death ray as a
not-at-all-well ray, really. |
