Wikipedia definition
2. Automaton clockAn automaton clock or automata clock is a type of striking clock featuring automatons. Clocks like these were built from the first century BC through to Victorian times in Europe. A Cuckoo clock is a simple form of this type of clock. The first known mention is of those created by the Roman engineer Vitruvius, describing early alarm clocks working with gongs or trumpets. Later automatons usually perform on the hour, half-hour or quarter-hour, usually to strike bells.
