The power transmitted via a large fusee, the timekeeping governed by a steel ball rolling on a grooved table, releasing a latch at the end of its travel, allowing the train to advance while the table tilts to the opposite end and the ball re-traces its original path in the other direction. The time is indicated on three elevated dials, minutes in the center, hours to the left and seconds to the right. The condition is like new and the clock is in good running order. Note there is no dust cover, so you will need to keep it in a cabinet. Height 14 inches
