Pictures of this beautiful model were found on a Japanese site; no text accompanying them, make your own guesses. |
This beautiful model apparently has its home in the History Museum of Hong Kong; verification will have to wait due to relocation in progress. |
Urged to own one of them ? No problem, just order your copy, e.g. at http://www.art-china.com/metal/lipin/yisu/ka010y.htm (but bring some money !) |
This picture was taken from a Japanese site; the text was native language and so escaped me, but it looks like a well build all wooden model. Please contact me if You find details on its maker. |
This picture I saw at several places. I think it shows the model displayed in the Science Museum London at some time around 1950 |
This very convincing looking model was published by Mr. Ambrose in Model Engineer 1999. |
Although daringly labeled 2600 B.C., this elegant model from Ohio
State University's Gear Mechanism Collection was found at
gearlab.eng.ohio-state.edu/gear-mech.html |
This picture is from a Taiwanese site (www.topk.com.tw)
most of it I could not read at all. I presume the model is mass-produced
for sale.
