Revolution Counter

This is an old counter, similar to inv. 1868-211, but it has the driving spindle enclosed in a long wooden arm (apparently a later addition), at the outer end of which the worm and worm-wheel are arranged. The worm spindle terminates in a knuckle joint that has been driven by a rotating wire.
