What he accomplished helped men put the burden of work on machines and broke the barriers of space and time. Of isolation and distance. His life was a paradox. While his mechanical genius helped to change forever the lives of people ever where, he sought to preserve in some permanent form, a record of the world around him and his eve everwidening interest in it. He collected buildings the way others collect stamps. And put them in a village where time stands still. He assembled acres of machines and put them under cover in a vast historical museum. And early, he discovered the astonishing capacity of the Motion Picture camera to document for all time whatever it saw when the crank was turned. In april 1914, at his holland park plant,
