Musical Clock of Meccano Pieces
By Christofer Noering

Hello!  Somewhere on the Internet I ran across a musical clock
being constructed entirely by using Meccano metal construction parts.
Now I don't remember whether it involved girders being struck with
hammers, or strips being plucked, but of course it a weight-powered
drive train and a pinned barrel made up of hub discs and perforated
strips.

Does somebody know of other automatic instruments constructed in
Meccano, or, at the very least, involving Meccano parts?
