Loose, socketed, and fixed
The same cog family changes role through its brass socket plate, fixed treatment, selection glow, and readable 8T, 12T, or 16T badge.
Reducers, multipliers, and cartridges
Compound shafts and movable cartridges keep both tooth sizes visible. Rear and front faces remain mechanically truthful and never collapse into ornamental stacks.
Open, crossed, fixed, and loose
Every pulley keeps its coaxial 8T pinion. Open belts preserve direction, crossed belts reverse it, and loose runs retain the same leather-and-brass construction.
Levers, clutches, and catches
Teal marks player state, brass links related controls, and one-way ratchet pawls mirror with direction while independently powered shaft layers remain legible.
Service-call world
Nine places, one connected repair journey.
Each repaired scene returns to the exact machine and camera that asked for help. The setting changes through function: light, water, motion, signal, transport, weather, or tide, not decorative spectacle.
