“Made from steel and brass, the elbow joint on this artificial arm can be moved by releasing a spring, the top joint of the wrist rotates and moves up & down, and the fingers can curl up and straighten out. The wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare.”
What a strangely beautiful thing. Don’t think I’d be giving my left arm for one any time soon though.
Amazing piece of engineering, reckon it works better than most modern versions… elegant fingers that can grab?, makes you wonder.
Will I see it on 4 rooms on channel 4 , the female would give her right arm to purchase LOL.
si algún día me quedo sin brazo, quisiera tener uno como éste
