Description

Symmetrical is prototype #3 for The Automata Project. Symmetrical is a display of two bevel gears with 10 teeth, a 1:1 ratio. The gear movement is displayed on a vertical base. It also displays two handles that are fashioned after knobs such as you would find on your Powermatic planer. The center of interest is the two bevel gears on the top of the prototype. I added a hole to create a mechanical look and pull your eyes down slightly from the top.
