Inside, the mechanism, although rusty, seems in fairly good condition. The York to Selby line opened in 1871, and for 110 years the locomotives rolled over the swing bridge at Nayburn. The junction was a slow one though, and in the 1980's the line was rerouted to help pick up speed. The bridge was left to rust, a derelict monument to a once vital link between York, Selby and on towards London. In recent years, the bridge has been found a new lease of life as part of the York to Selby cycle way.
The remains of a signal control at a grade crossing of an abandoned section of the New York Susquehanna and Western Railroad.
The old mechanical clockwork in the civic tower from when it was built in 1832. It's not used any more, and has been replaced with a more modern mechanism.
The Market Street Bridge, officially referred to as the John Ross Bridge, is a bascule bridge that spans the Tennessee River between downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Northshore District. It carries North Market Street (formerly designated as U.S. Route 127), and was named in honor of Cherokee Chief John Ross. The bridge was completed in 1917 at a cost of $1 million. In the mid-1970s, the southern terminus of US 127 was moved several miles north to the intersection of Dayton Boulevard and Signal Mountain Boulevard in the nearby suburb of Red Bank.
The bridge has concrete arch spans flanking a center draw span, which is a steel truss with double-leaf Scherzer rolling lift bascule mechanism. At the time of its completion in 1917, the 300-foot (91 m) main span was the longest rolling-lift bascule span in the world. Vehicular traffic originally included streetcars, but streetcar service across the bridge ended in the 1930s. The bridge was formally renamed the Chief John Ross Bridge in 1950.
The bridge closed in 2005 for a renovation, but reopened on August 4, 2007, ahead of its originally scheduled September completion date.
The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 2010.
Four times per year, the bridge is closed for a brief inspection to test its hinge mechanism, as mandated by the US Coast Guard.

Here is a properly exposed image of this wristwatch mechanism:

But what am I?
For scale the image is around 75mm wide, and I suspect many of us will have interacted with its complete unit at some point.
If it's not guessed I'll reveal on Sunday p.m.
This was originally a power line tower viewed from below and next to the I-5 freeway overpass/bridge in the Eastlake neighborhood.
Basalt lava pavement covered in moss at a cliff face overlooking Brandywine Creek, BC, Canada. The mosses, lichen and fungi form mounds on top of he lava mimicking the polygonal basalt columns below. The basalt is leaning over precariously at the edge and will fall soon forming a talus slope below.. the main mechanisms for erosion are freeze thaw and biological weathering
That's the combo I use for my SEP and Boxer models. You need a tight rubber-band, especially if the vehicle is a little heavy, but other then that it works pretty well!
I've taken some inspiration from other people's solutions, so this is a sort of adaption or permutation of some other steering suspensions out there, not taking credit for the idea, just showing the design.
Old mechanism to "play" music on a 15 or 16 bell carillon (even though there seems to be a lot more than 16 connections!) Metal drum which hits the "keys" is a replacement of an old wooden drum. The mechanism had a sliding adjustment which appeared to shift the "keys" and cable connections slightly to one side - and therefore play a different tune.
