Thorpe's binoculars


Those binoculars were the best binoculars ever produced in this world. They could see so clearly in the dark and from any distance and through any object. Simply amazing. I have to find a pair for myself.

Thorpe built human-like androids and a mechanical dragon which totally defies gravity, yet what you can't get over are his binoculars?

Oh come on, any old villain can build androids and mechanical dragons. Cutting edge optical instruments of this sort require real skill in the manufacture.

I thought the horse was also amazing, certainly better than any race horse ever seen. I don't know how far Hellsmouth was meant to be from London, but it required a fair train journey apparently, so a good distance. However despite the train travelling about 60-80mph on its way to London, not only did the horse make the distance as fast, it also made it all the way across London too!
