On 25 August 3013 the BBC showed "Mechanical Marvels : Clockwork Dreams' presented by Professor Simon Schaffer.
I recorded it using Windows Media Player. However this cannot be transferred or used by another computer.
This evening I found a site with the 'sum up' section of the program,
Using the following link below, the first picture is the 'boy' you will see by selecting the next picture down, then play and enjoy the short video.

Bear in mind items like the above were made late 1600 -1700, and are still made today!
There are many other interesting articles on the site, but enough for now....
