Catalog Description:

C.1885, French, "Centrifugal Governor" Clock, (not automated), from the Industrial Series. In May of 2000 we sold a very similar looking model, "The Centrifugal Steam Valve", which brought $1400. This one has no steam devices, rather a large beveled gear at the bottom. In both cases, the articulated arms appear as part of a governor and the balls contain a clock on one side and a barometer on the other. Both the clock and barometer have good porcelain dials; the dust covers for both balls have been professionally replaced (look OK). Height 12 inches
