Watch the mechanisms from an 1868 engineering book come to life

In 1868 Henry T. Brown wrote a book called Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements. The subtitle is an apt description of the contents:

DYNAMICS, HYDRAULICS, HYDROSTATICS, PNEUMATICS, STEAM ENGINES, MILL AND OTHER GEARING, PRESSES, HOROLOGY, AND MISCELLANEOUS MACHINERY;
AND INCLUDING

AND
SEVERAL WHICH HAVE ONLY RECENTLY COME INTO USE.
