[Copper gold-plated writing clock]

Copper gold-plated writing clock, 231cm high, 77 base × 77 cm
The bell type is a copper-plated four-storey pavilion. In the circular pavilion on the top floor, there are two people holding a cylinder in hand for dancing. After starting, the two people rotate to open the distance, and the cylinder is spread into a banner, with the words “eternal life” written on it. The second floor is the timing part of the clock. On the third floor, there is a bell ringer, who rings the bell bowl and plays music every time after 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The bottom floor is the writing robot, which is the most exciting, novel and complicated part of the clock. It is not connected with the timing part of the machine, but a set of independent mechanical settings, which can be demonstrated only by starting the upper chord. The main mechanical components that control the writing part are three discs, with concave and convex grooves at the edges and different lengths. These discs are specially made according to each stroke and stroke. The upper and lower discs control the horizontal and vertical strokes of the character respectively, and the middle disc controls the up and down movement of the pen. The writing robot looks like a European gentleman, kneeling on one leg, holding the desk with one hand, and holding the brush with the other hand. Before starting, dip the brush in ink, and then turn on the switch. The writer will write eight Chinese characters on the paper in front of him, “eight directions, nine lands come to the king”. The handwriting is neat and vivid. While writing, the robot’s head swings with it
This exquisite large clock was specially made by Williamson in London, England, for the Qing Dynasty Palace
