Metro General's 'Cyberrail' System, 1972
This photograph was featured in a 1972 article entitled "Patients Can Catch Eye of Nurse". The article unveiled the new Towers at Cleveland Metro General campus, along with cutting edge technology that was being installed. In this image, "Mrs. Francine Wiedt readies the return trip of a robot that will scurry through the walls, and up and down in special elevators, to deliver meals and supplies fast to every patient section of Metro General's Twin Towers." The robot they refer to is the large box pictured, a 'Cyberrail' system that used monorails throughout the Towers to deliver hot food and other necessities. | Date: 1972 | Source: Cleveland State University.
