Found this while looking for how mechanical watches work. This is just amazing. I can’t even.

I’ve seen this before, it’s amazing. Back in the day you couldn’t watch some complex machine and say: computers, it must be computers. it was pieces and gears and you could actually understand how it worked. Saying that something works thanks to computers is like saying “magic, it’s magic” and you never look into it because it’s magic.

... speak for yourself. Some of us know how computers work.... I could probably figure out what is going on in a computer faster than I could figure out this thing. An engine is one thing, but when you get into machines this complex, it isn’t so simple to understand anymore.

That’s cool, but also creepy as shit.
I imagine this could have been deployed en masse as a relatively primitive copying machine, if one had dozens or scores of just the machines - no mannequins or whatever - set up to write copies of the same page, then change gears - literally swap them out, cassette-like - for a different page. Not as efficient as a printing press, but more artistic and actually written, not stamped.

Yeah the moving eyes were really creepy in the beginning. What a coincidence! I was actually thinking about using it as a copier as I was watching.
