The craftsmanship of the device is what astounds me. You have a series of gears with hundrede of teeth, all of which have to mesh PERFECTLY in order to work. The least imperfection will bind the mechanism - and all the teeth were cut by hand.

Lilely the gears were held in a clamp with indexing mark for filing guidance.
A number of more modern craftmen produced fine results with simple tools and steady hands.
