A 240 year old doll that can write

A 240 year old doll that can write, a clockwork creation by Pierre Jaquet-Droz.

This 4 minute clip will fascinate just about all the engineers, artists, clock makers, doll makers, computer programmers, want to be inventors or basically anyone out there that likes to tinker. Enjoy. It is truly amazing. Remember this was built in the 1770's.
