Excellent. I saw that (and others) on a TV documentary a couple of weeks ago. What I thought was particularly clever was that you can re-arrange some of the wheels inside to make it write anything you want. Another very pretty automaton was a very lifelike swan.

What an amazing automaton. The little guy didn't say much though.
