What are Automata?
Because of their diversity, automata are difficult to define. Here is our loose definition of them: “Machines that replicate human, animal, or inanimate objects’ motions, capabilities, and/or everyday tasks. These can be hand cranked, motor driven, or computer controlled.” This definition may be expanded as time flows. (Automata Magazine Group Forum)

About me…
Hello!
My name is Giuseppe Civitarese (aka Pino), from Visintini, Italy. I am an oceanographer, and in my second life I am a card models builder and designer. My passion for paper modelling began in 2000, when I decided to build a paper castle for my little nephew Matteo. Later, Matteo never built any paper model. On the other hand, since then I've never abandoned this hobby. My specific interest is in designing paper automata, and terrestrial and celestial globes from digital replicas of antique maps.

Leonardo da Vinci’s 500th anniversary: my little tribute to the Genius

Hello Pino, your hammer model has a part 30a and b. However, the function and installation location are not shown in the assembly instructions. On the one picture in the parts file, you can see that it is the rotary lever. However, this may not be apparent to everyone.
Best greetings

Thank you Jochen!
You are right. I corrected putting “HANDLE” over the numbers (30a and 30b).
Thanks a lot!
Ciao.
