1) The main shaft turns due to the unwinding force when the spin timer is turned, the spring wound with that force
being delivered through each gear and the spring slowly unwinding at a speed finally controlled by the angle
assembly.
2) The contact point Turns ON and the assembly angle is set in motion which is in the CAM groove in the OFF
state, comes off the groove when the main shaft is turned to wind the spring. The contact point turns OFF,
return to CAM groove when the spring unwind completely.
