[The casing comes off easily enough showing a breathtaking number of complex mechanisms. Long and short pistons are set to power the turning of series of more and more complex cogs and wheels of different sizes and groove spaces. Brass valves seem to vent for some sort of piping, but it's hard to tell what it is... or what would power it.
Dazzling, complex, this simple figure has a lifeswork of automation arts in it, rivaling easily some of the Pavionian works you've dissembled.... except... pegs and screws on the inside, here and there, stand empty. Here and there, a gear wheel sits with noting connecting it to push or power in turn.]
