Demonstrating the precision of a mechanical device for handling nuclear material by shaving a colleague, UK, 1959

This is demonstrating trust in each other as much as trust in the equipment.

Oh sorry, it was set to 'peel'!

It does look like a very human solution

Looks pretty clean shaven already to me, wonder how many times this was practiced for the photo op

This picture won't leave my feed and dang if it isn't a little odd.

Not just true of "men", who doesn't want a nuclear shave, aside from the obvious health benefits

Edit, the caption implies this is a hyper-precise robot, no nukes or AI involved directly

I cannot imagine that this was necessary. Peeling a banana would be just fine, but no, let's put a colleague's life on the line.
