this company that made that automaton is still around, they sell as much a $10m each.
you tell them what you want the automaton to do and they will spend the next two years building it

all Clock work nothing else

that is a very famous automaton.

I know a person who collects Automatons,
You have to have very deep pockets to collect these things

One of his was designed to enlist kids to the army during world war one
