Syberia = Helping Oscar!

Wow.. I like this game

Just getting into it, and I've just met Oscar! I like him already! How do I help him after he gives me the card, since the machine won't work?
Here's what I've done so far:

I restarted the waterwheel (pump?), and I've been in Anna's Office ( hard to belive a women in her 80's had to climb those stairs every day!). I didn't see anything in her office that specifily seems to solve the problem with the assembly machine.

I see the the number 3 lights up, and the last switch on the bottom right is 'red'. I assume some part of the assembly line is broken , but not sure what.

I also see the 'fork lift' automoton needs something to come off the convayer belt before he can bring it to the assembly line.

I havn't explored any other part of the factory complex yet, I just happend to turn left after opening the gate from the street. Do I need to explore the rest of the grounds first, or should I have everything I need already?

Any hints???

Thanks
Louis

P.S.. That scene with young Ana & Hans was great! Can't wait to get into that cave!

Yes, you need to explore another area first to find the unit that you will later pick off the conveyor.

If you're interested, there is a very good walkthrough at the GameBoomers site.

Enjoy the game. It is a great game.

If you have the card then did you go outside, clockwise to the next pathway and send the container on the fire over to the factory? Did the robot "tow motor" deliver it to the assembly line machinery? If so, you have to go to that console and there are two positions on the left hand switch. If it's in the wrong one you will see the legs go to the end of the assembly line but when you take them to Oscar he can't use them. If the left hand switch is in the correct position then all is well.

BTW, did you check the office at the top of the stairs before you go to the console?

Hi there, Louis..........You have been in the room down at the other end of the factory; down the aisle next to the wall past the assembly line? There's a couple of things you need to do there too.

Love, Witchen =O)
