Early Wheel-Locks and Their Spanners

[cornelistromp]

Hi Michael,

thank you for your comments on the lock, what amazes me is that this 1570 lock looks like it has been designed recently on a computer, all the small fragile parts (chain) are protected by disc and plate.also all the springs are "hidden" or don't look like springs. for a Wheelock mechanism really a masterpiece.
