Here is a video of the rare Canadian Nursery Berliner Gram-O-Phone in action. Despite the clever governor design which is a definite improvement from the American Hand-Wind Berliner Gramophone (which utilizes the heavy drive pully which functions somewhat like a fly wheel), it is still quite a challenge to maintain a constant speed for the duration of record play.

Wow, that's neat! This and the linked CAPS article has compelled me to finally join (I can be forgetful, sometimes 😑) the organization.
