Yes i will dittot that one. The old ones were quite a clever device in their heyday. I love some of this old school mechanical and electrical engineering. A motor in effect runs the timing but also winds a clockwork spring so on a power cut tge clockwork mechanism keeps the clock in time and once power returns it rewinds tge spring ready for next power cut. Not sure of spring power time cycle before depleted but it was a few hours though. Maybe 4 or even 8 at a pure guess. Quite ingenious in my humble opinion. In the days before modern electronics and computers just some good mechanical principles and maybe electrics (relats etc) or simple electronics (transistors perhaps) and they built some good stuff and it lasted well too.
Wind up clockwork record player with a centrifugal governor and your records played at a good steady speed and some with no electrics of any kind yet they worked, and worked very well.
Edwardian, Victorian and 1960s engineers knew a thing or two.
