Inside a "La Gard" Mechanical Single-Dial Rotary Combination Lock

Watch how a classical mechanical rotary single-dial safe combination lock works and what&going on inside the lock as the combination is dialed in. This particular lock is made by the company _La Gard_ which is located in Kentucky, USA. To the best of my knowledge the lock belongs to La Gard&174 series. The rotary single-dial combination lock was invented by Linus Yale in the 1870s. As a child I built many intricate lock mechanisms from LEGO parts, but often wondered how mechanical single-dial combination locks work. They seemed to work almost by magic, and illustrations in books still left me baffled, as the drawings and accompanying descriptions simply failed to convey what was going on inside the lock when the combination was dialed in and the lock was opened. This clip more clearly shows what&going on inside the lock. I hope you enjoyed the clip.
