Large model of a clockwork spring mechanism with belts and cogs


Large model of a clockwork spring mechanism with belts and cogs, originally as a concept representing the workings of a car engine at the New York World Fair, 1964-1965 but equally apt for other mechanical applications and the workings of the human mind or to illustrate phrases such as 'Runs like clockwork', It's a wind-up' or Relax and unwind'. The labels and some background clutter has been retouched from the photograph. The original version with its labels is also available (Alamy ref: B92XAP)
