Parkour in Year 1930. Oddly Powered Clocks. This gallery of the museum is dedicated to clocks with unusual motive power. Cornelis Drebbel- the same man who is suppose to have rowed a boat underwater up the Thames- built a device in 1610 which was apparently a clock telling the time, date, and season. The gold machine was mounted in a globe on pillars and appears to have been powered by changes in air pressure. So far I have found no details of this. In the 1760s the well-known clockmaker Mr James Cox developed a clock which was were wound up by changes in barometric pressure.
The work was done in collaboration John Joseph Merlin, with whom Cox also worked on developing automata. Cox was a well-known clockmaker. Cox's clock is currently in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and one of these days I mean to go and track it down.

The British Equivalent of “That’s What She Said” Today I Found Out there is a British equivalent to “that’s what she said” that’s been around for over a century, namely, “said the actress to the bishop”.
