  1. I can readily see that these were built in Central Europe, probably one of the German States given their metal working skills especially in clock and watchmaking. When the presenter mentions Nuremberg my first thought was the Nuremberg Egg.

  2. Given that these were likely layed out by hand with no indexing mechanisms 4, 6 or 8 chambers in the cylinders make sense. In fact dividing a circle into 6 equal parts is the easist as we all should remember from geometery class. This must have been an absolutely gorgeous girearm when built. The one thing l wonder about is how dud they prevent chain fires. Some sort of partial ring around the cylinder possinly with a leather or felt seal?

  3. Remember. There are "car enthusiasts" who would willingly chop up the sole remaining model of a low production classic in order to build a hot rod.
