Pirate’s Bride


Pirate's Bride The Pirate’s Bride critically sizes up her perspective grooms as she glances from man to man. who is the right one? Obviously they want a decision. But often there is a third way!

The handle moves a horizontal cam shaft. Two staggered cams move a friction wheel as the vertical shafts rotate to and fro. The heads of the pirates move accordingly. The rotation of the movement is limited by stops.

A humorous paper automaton by Walter Ruffler. Making this mechanical model is both enjoyable and instructive!
