I have to say this is the first such movement I"ve seen, a third substantial train screwed to the back iron pillars, and a third winding arbor installed in a center pillar which winds the chime movement through a side gear. This addition dates to the original manufacture. All 3 trains function, but the chime is out of sync. A mechanical curiosity for those who like French ingenuity. Height 32'
