This video shows the completed and final finished strike trains on a turntable to show the various components. This is only the quarter and hour drive trains with the bell hammers; less any of the complex strike control mechanisms - the levers, racks, cams, detents and fly governors. Even though this module contains two trains, it is the least complex, on a stand-alone basis of the other two main train modules, the time and celestial trains. To be fair many of its components are shared with the celestial train and if one were to be able to attach all the control and synchronization transfer mechanisms to the strike trains module while outside of the machine (which is not possible), the answer would be different. In all there are four trains contained within three modules that sit upon the flat bed base containing four spring barrels.
