Original Slinky

Origin
Richard T. James was an engineer for the US Navy. He was designing a new steal spring for military transport when one fell. He was inspired to create his amusing spring toy, named the Slinky by his wife.

Effects
The slinky will continually walk down and then back up inclined angles, including stairs.

Collection
Collected from the workroom of Richard T. James after the thing went on a "climbing spree", knocking everything over. Originally it had to be kept in a special neutralizing pod to prevent it from knocking over other artifacts, but Claudia invented a mini-escalator. As the Slinky climbs the steps the steps recede down, trapping it in an endless loop. Leena said the toy was pleased at this.
