"Was the Turk not exposed as having a human chess player concealed in the table?"
It was eventually known but I don't know if it was exposed in its heyday. I remember the a couple of boys on a roof saw the midget climbing into the apparatus thru a window.

Thought I remembered something of the sort. Didn’t remember about the boys seeing it though. Thanks!
