Athanasius Kircher was a 17th century German Jesuit scholar (1650). In his handbook on music Athanasiius described a mechanical organ that had a lot of automated figures including a mechanical cuckoo. This book, was the very first to document in words and pictures the mechanical workings of the cuckoo clock. It goes on to describe how the mechanical cuckoo can automatically open it is beak even though at the very same time the cuckoo can move both the wings and the tail. As the beak opens and closes one hears the call of the cuckoo. Inside the clock are two organ pipes which are responsible for creating the call of the cuckoo. "Time is gold" as the saying goes and so are clocks like the Art Cuckoo Clock you might see on this page. The value of time imprinted on the clocks created.
