Internal gears within a clock
Clock cogs. Internal gears and cogs in an antique clock on a decorative background. At upper left is the pivot for the hour and minute hands; at top left is part of the seconds face. These cogs form part of a skeleton clock, so called because the internal components are not hidden by an opaque covering. The wheels transfer and regulate motion from the power source to the hands.
