Self-destroying automaton

An artifact from the Zymoglyphic Museum's Age of Wonder

 

The museum is in San Mateo, close to the Maker Faire and will be open to the public that weekend. details

 

This particular mechanical wonder was a clockwork automaton that not only told time but continuously removed pieces of itself and offered them to passers by. How the internal parts were regenerated has yet to be determined despite intensive investigation by the museum staff.
