Tee Hee's Arm ?

I have often wondered about Tee Hee's arm in LALD. As I'd always assumed as a kid that it was
basically a short pair of pincers in a short tube which Julius Harris would hold in his hand, and open
close like a pair of scissors, but I have read that at times it was a full arm, with Julius Harris having
his own arm strapped across his stomach. Which you can notice in some scenes. With obviously a
full mechanical arm for the last train fight.
Would anyone know anything about this arm or any photos of how it worked. -{

I'm sure your assumption as a kid was right: don't we even see his wrist bending?

I'll see if I can find the actual quote later, unless someone beats me to it.

Julius was handicapped by his arm, which is a very intriguing connivance. It is strapped to him round his chest and the opening and closing of the claw is controlled by his breathing.
He had a lot of trouble timing his breathing so that his chest-operated hook would work and still look natural. At the same time he had to control his breath to deliver his dialogue which made it doubly difficult..... It took two hours and fifteen takes to get it right.
I thought this seen in the picture would have been used all the time? To have some thing controlled by breathing? Was Roger Moore teasing by saying this? I think perhaps so.

I don't think that would have been a consideration. Still, I'd say that a variety of means would have been used according to the scene.
