'The Writer' is still functional and can be seen at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.  It is considered to be among the remote ancestors of modern computers.   'The Writer' is able to write any custom text up to 40 letters long (the text is rarely changed - one of the latest instance was in honour of president François Mitterrand when he toured the city).  The text is coded on a wheel where characters are selected one by one.  'The Writer' uses a goose feather to write, which he inks from time to time, including a shake of the wrist to prevent ink from spilling.  His eyes follow the text being written, and the head moves when he takes some ink.   From: Mechanical Marvels - Clockwork Dreams (BBC).
