    This is absolute genius, really. Clockwork, in general, fascinates me, but this design really takes the cake. The primary issue here is all of these metal parts scraping against each other. So much oiling would be required for this thing it's insane. I wonder if we could make a purely mechanical computer on a micro-scale using modern laser-manufacturing methods.

      The two copies that were actually built by the Science Museum in London are indeed dripping with lubricants.
