Designer’s Notes –

Clockwork animals are luxurious gadgets, laborious to keep up & constructed from costly supplies, so their retailer wanted to be actually opulent.  There’s lots I’m pleased with on this set, however the clock took the longest to determine.  I used to be obsessive about getting the arms to spin on the correct ratios.  In the tip, it was easier to spin the faces as an alternative.  Attach a motor to the drive-shaft & it may even be used as an actual clock!  So crank these gears by clicking the support button & collectively we’ll get the Clockwork Menagerie able to run!

Thanks,
