The Automata Chosen + Presentation

With talks with Phil and Alan I have decided to go with three of the automata, two of which can be quickly done the third will take a bit longer due to the immense detail of the design.

The two easier ones are the:

Hydropowered Sagiya Chain Pump

Hydropowered Water Pump

The third one that will be much harder to model is:

The Elephant Clock

The elephant clock does have a real world re-production I can use a reference:

I am going to present these automata in the form of a flash based educational CD stylized as a 'pop-up book' copy of The book of knowledge of ingenious mechanical devices.
