Brass Gears & Mechanical Parts (Assorted Box)
A box of precision brass gears, cams, shafts, and springs. The same components I designed for the Analytical Engine. Build a clock, a music box, or a mechanical calculator. Or redesign them three times and never finish. Either way, the gears are beautiful.
Jacquard Loom Cards (Sample Set + Reader)
