“WINDUP” на російській мові

Wheeled and windup toys are also well represented in the collection he assembled.

A windup alarm clock, for example, uses a tension spring as a drive mechanism, an escapement wheel, and the gear driven mechanical hands moving across the clock face as a display of the time.

At other times, women looked like windup dolls or birds or apes.

Fully dressed, she lay atop the bedclothes clutching a windup alarm clock with double brass hemispheres on top, registering its hypertensive ticktock like the pulse of a mechanical hummingbird.

People with joie de vivre are like windup dolls that never run down.
