Pierre Jaquet-Droz in the 1770s. Mechanical Boy.

Hi Creaky , here is the full documentary 





Seeing the clockwork boy is on my to do list when I am in that part of the world . The sawn I have seen as its just down the road from me at Bowes Museum . 


Have you seen the Harrison chronometers ? well worth a look if your ever at The Royal Observatory ,Greenwich. 







The book "Longitude" by Dava Sobel is an interesting read on the subject   .



Regards Rob
