I like it, I made an animated gif of it. I may not have got it like you have explained but I can change it if you can explain how. I left out the spings and catch levers, but I gather that the weight would fall with enough force to compress the spring and be latched in that position untill the wheel would rotate around and the weight would then be released and the spring would have enough stored energy to propel the weight back to the starting position. See it here http://home.gci.net/~rflory/pm_type_11.gif
Thanks,
