The writing hand The writing hand is a mechanical automaton created by Friedrich von Knauss in 1764. A clockwork mechanism moves a hand which dips a pen into an inkstand and writes the phrase ""Huic Domui Deus / Nec metas rerum / Nec tempora ponat"" ("May God not impose ends or deadlines on this house") on a small card. On the silver-coating of the mechanism are the words ""Pro patria"".
