That device was a remarkable find.
I still find it hard to believe how advanced it was. Also the quality of the metal work was beyond what anyone thought possible.

Maybe Doctor Who made it while he was on a holiday and figured it would be a source of entertainment in later centuries as people tried to figure it out.
