A video about “The Little Writer” by Pierre Jaquet-Droz. 240 years old. What craftsmanship!
WOW, Thats incrediable! My Dad was a clock maker. But he never attempted something that complex.
Remember 240 years ago, all that working mech was hand cut, every piece shaped to do its own job in the working puzzle.
I see HOW it works, but I’m completely amazed that somebody actually made it.
(Yes, I saw Hugo.)
