 Boilerplate was first introduced to the public on May 23, 1893, at the Machinery Hall of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. |

 Boilerplate and Lily Campion gaze southeast from the roof of the Manufacturers Building; Machinery Hall can be seen at upper right. A souvenir postcard depicting Machinery Hall at sunset. Note the excursion boats. They ran on Edward Fullerton's fuel cells, the same technology that powered Boilerplate.  Boilerplate pushes Lily Campion in a wheeled touring chair on the fair's Midway Plaisance. Archie is walking next to them. Ironically, the visual cacophony of this unique setting gave Boilerplate some respite from curiosity seekers.
