Astronomical Mechanisms

By this I mean the following mechanisms for the time being.
1. Antikythera
2. Orreries
3. Tellurions

Sometimes it is difficult to separate out Orreries and Tellurions, so the Fergusson Mechanical paradox appears in both topics with different makers for each, and there may be other duplicates too!

I have not included Astrolabes in this section as I know very little about these. There are probably a number of sites that concentrate on this marvelous instrument already so will not include these here  - yet.

There may be other mechanisms that should be included here - if you know of any and would send me details and pics I will include them.
