Here Is My Second Favorite Music Box Of My Lot, Tune Wise (Though It Shares A Tune With Another). I'm

Here is my second favorite music box of my lot, tune wise (Though it shares a tune with another). I'm mostly certain it plays Love Story by Andy Williams (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtfly9kCzNY - Sorry for the shitty 11 year old video; I could not find a better one with the exact tune.)

It's the sort that will pause if tilted. The governor* is flat and metal. The key is the same plastic as the sides and has an interesting, flat shape. It is entirely a brassy colored metal, save the key and box. There are few marks: "FU(?)JI | JAPAN" on the drum; "WACO | PRODUCT OF JAPAN" on a sticker on it's bottom; "DON'T OVERWIND ->" on the key; "JAPAN" on it's bottom.

An additional piece of hardware is used in the stopping mechanism, a sliding weight which inhibits the governor. It is connected interestingly to the comb's two screws. There's also extra material around the drum's free side. There is also an intentionally cut comb tooth.

It has some damage on the outside plastic but none reaching the box itself, which plays with little extra effort. If jostled, it will often play after stopping. (Might need oil on the governor spot.)

I cannot safely remove it from the container (as I do other boxes), and do not intend to try.

Here is what some of the parts do. You probably know already tho V

1: *Called the Governor. Well, the circle is around the whole assembly, but whatever. It's a sorta fan looking thing which regulates the speed of the music by air resistance. As a sort of 'side effect', it will also pause the music if stopped.

2: Don't think it has a name, because it's different on a lot of boxes, but on this one it's a sliding weight. When you tilt the box, it moves into the way of the governor and stops the music. Tilted back, it frees the governor. It is held in place by the governor's assembly.

3: This is what I called the motor, but it's just the Clockspring. Exactly what it says: inside is a coiled bit of flat metal that powers the box, and is connected directly to the key.

Unlabeled (and much more commonly understood):

Drum, cylinder, etc, which is the big thing with pins on it. That's the music sheet, and will strum the ...

Comb, which is the comb shaped thing with teeth and the only thing that will produce the sound. Fun fact: If you look on the side, you can see varying thicknesses on the teeth. That makes the sound a little deeper, and makes the comb more compact. If they were all the same thickness, the comb would have to be longer. Bonus! If you unscrew it, then you will have a very hard time getting every note to ring the same way as before.

pórú/breeding

téarmaíocht do pórú fánas:

glaótar "beoir" ar fán a bhuil ag iompar nó a bhuil úsaidte chun leanaí a iompar. teaspáneann tréithe diffríocht má tá an fán beoir nó fíon do na leannaítiní

glaótar "fíon" ar fán a úsaidtear mar gin nó a seamhan

glaotar "leanaítin" ar fánas faoi aíos 4 seactain, tar eist é sinn glaotar "scoithtin" ar go dtí 8 seactain aois

níl tú abalte póranna tairgheach a pórú i slí nádúrtha, cathig siad a beith síolraithe le inseamhnú saorga, go hairithe le fíon mar-muiche (níos mó faoi seo níos déanaí). ach de gnáth is fédir le pór neamhcheadúnaithe síolraithú a deanamh gan fadbh, ach le cúpla póranna níl siad abalta pórú gan cabhair instealladh hormón ionnas gur nach deanaigh siad leanaítiní gan chead.

níl timthriall éstrus ag fánas, agus is fedir leo a bheith pórithe aon lá, ach ba cór go bhuil BCS timpeall 3.5 acú riobh (i fánas caoríonn bán dearg tá se seo deachar le feicáil, ach tá se níos éasca le feicáil tar éist iad a bearr) agus fan timpeall 6 seactain tar éist iad a chur ar-raca nó leanaí a thóg .go neamhchoitianta is fedir le fánas mar-mhuice míostrú a deanamh.

níos mó faoi pórú le fánas mar-mhuice, ní fedir leat síolrú aon mar-mhuic, cathig tú an seamhan a cheannach ó DerCo iad féin (gur bhuil a lán páipéarachas chun a beith cead é a cheannach). nach díreach le haigh cóipcheart, ach mar níl cealla aitairge socair acú agus tá an chuid is mó dobh neamhthorthúil. bhí an chuid is mó de na fánas mar-mhuice crothithe timpeall 2016, an chead tríl* de anmhithe nua faoi chóipcheart le haigh feoil. is fedir le fánas ar leith a beith úsáideach le haigh 30-50 blian, ní raibh chial an chun iad a pórú nuair is fedir níos mó a crothú i saotharlann (agus tá gach fánas mar-mhuic agus fánas caoríon bán dearg mar an cheanna le fánas eille de a pór go géiniteacúil, crothigh siad sóchán úfásach ina páistí má pórtú iad le chéile).

ach i 2019, crothig siad na fánas caoríon bán dearg chun cómead suas leis an margadh do poileistear agus éadach sintéiseach. le an pór nua seo, crothig siad fán mar-muic amháin darbh anim "sleeping tom" a bhí an pé chean de a pór áblta aitairge. choimeádann siad é neamhaireachtálach ionnas go nach bhuil cóstas ar bia nó strus ó uaigneas. cómeadtear é i saotharlann ardslándála ionnas gur nach goidfidh aon duine é agus gur nach faigh sé aon galar. de bhair é seo tá an (sean)aithir cheanna ag gach fánas cotacassadh.

bearla / english:

anatomy

fauns are hermaphordites, meaning that they have both sets of genitals and sex organs, and they produce all hormones to go with them. normally they do not have any issues with this because of a lack of sex chromosomes. in unlicenced breeds and ferals/feral subspecies their hormone levels are relatively balenced, but in production breeds theres a few differences

heatherhorns tend to have a low level of testosterone, this is so that they have a low sex drive to prevent unwanted litters. but swinelikes have much higher levels of testosterone and progesterone so that they gain weight quicker, theres no worries about pregnancy with swinelikes since all their attenntion is on eating and they're all infertile.

the diagram in pictúir 2 shows the internal anatomy and reproductive organs of a faun, they're very similar to the kind you'd see inside another mammal but with a few important differences

vulva and vagina: where the penis is stored during sexual intercourse

uterus and uterine horns: instead of the body of the uterus, the bontings are grown in the uterine horns so that theres space for all 15-20 babyguys (seen in pictúir 3)

ovaries: releases eggs when ovulation is triggered by sexual intercourse, also produces progesterone and oestrogen.

penis: releases semen during ejaculation

vas derferens: transports sperm from the testicles to the penis

seminal vesticle and the prostate: produces fluids to mix with the sperm as they pass through

testicles: produces sperm,they are outside the body to keep them at the right tempeture to keep the sperm alive

epididymis: when the sperm cells are mature they're stored here

scrotum: the skin and muscles around the testicles, keeps the testicles at the right tempature

trans-vulvar nerve: connects the female set of sex organs and the male set and controls function and sensation in the penis, ureathra, bladder and vulva. in abdominal surgery (e.g c-sections) surgeons have to make two incisions either side instead of going straight across to make sure they don't cut it

bladder: waste from the kidneys gets filtered out and is stored here as urine

urethra: expells urine from the bladder, its away from the other two sex organs to prevent burning those tissues

during gestation, featuses have two of what would grow into sex organs in other animals, rarely both can develop into the same set of sex organs, this is called "double sexing"

breeding

termanology in faun breeding:

a "beoir" is a faun that either is pregnant or is one normally used for raising babyguys. different traits can show weather a faun is the beoir or the fíon of the offspring

a "fíon" is a faun used as a sire or is normally used as a sire

a baby faun is called a "babyguy" or "babything" until the age of 4 weeks, after that theyre called a "weinerguy" or "weinerthing" until 8 weeks old.

you cannot breed peoduction breeds in a natural way, they have to be serviced with artificial insemination, especially if the sire is a swinelike (more on that later). normally unlicenced breeds are able to reproduce natrually without a problem, but theres some breeds that can only get pregnant with hormone injections to prevent unwanted litters

fauns do not have an eostrus cycle, they can get pregnant any day, but they need to have a BCS of arount 3.5 (in heatherhorns BCS is hard to see, check once theyve been de-fleaced). and wait at least 6 weeks after they've been re-racked or raised a litter. occasionaly swinelike fauns can menstrate.

more on swinelikes in breeding, you cannot use just any swinelike as a sire, you need to buy semen from DerCo directly (which you need a lot of paperwork to even be allowed buy). not only because of copyright, but because most swinelikes dont have stable sex cells and most of them are infertile. most swinelikes where created in 2016, the first attempt* of creating new animals to sell as meat under copyright. a faun can be usefull for around 30-50 years, there was no reason to breed more of them when they could just grow more in a labratory (plus since production breed fauns are exact genetic copies of two individuals that means that their offspring would have lethal deformities if you bred two members of the same breed)

but in 2019, they created heatherhorn fauns to keep up with the market for polyester and synthetic textiles. with this new breed, they created a single swinelike faun that was able to reproduce called "sleeping tom" to service them for hybrid vigor. they keep them unconscious to keep down the cost of feed and housing and prevent stress from lonliness, kept in a lab under high security to prevent them from getting sick or stolen. because of this sleeping tom is the (grand)father of every crossbred faun.

growth and development of babyguys

fauns have a gestation period of around 18 days, to grow babyguys in that short amount of time they need a higer plane of nutrition to prevent pregnancy toxemia, their feed can be suplimmented with nutritional drench, and a higher amount of food and biological waste.

babyguys are born blind, deaf, and only move by squirming , they make a high-pitched squeal sound and can only drink milk. the beoir communicates to them with a click-trilling high piched sound that is unique to her.

in their second week they can keep their head up and move slightly better, their eyes and ears are open but not mature just yet, they're still drinking milk

in the third week they're able to walk and run a little bit, their eyes and ears are fully developed and their teeth have grown in. theyre starting to show an intrest in silid food but most of their diet is still mostly milk. in unlicenced breeds and ferals, the beoir will regurgitate contents from her rumen so that the babyguys will get essencial gut bacteria and softened food to develop their rumen. in a production setting they will be started on a babyguy creep ration and digestive aid.

at five weeks old the weinerguys are around half their adult size and can be introduced with the rest of the cluster with their beoir, they will learn about socalising, how to forage, and in ferals, how to hunt. because of this its very important to get them used to being handled at this age.

at 7 weeks old they start puberty and are fully adults at 8 weeks old

housing for beoirs and babyguys

in a production setting, pictúir 5 shows how beoirs are housed to raise the babyguys. the pen is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide, the small space means the beoir will be less stressed due to being seperated from the rest of their cluster. theres a window on both ends of the pen so that the beoirs will be able to see eachother and socalize. over a metal grate on the floor theres a silicone mat for both the beoir and babyguys comfort. the beoir is in a beoir crate to prevent crushing the babyguys. on one end theres two food throughs and one for water in the middle so both the beoir and weinerguys can eat and have acces to water, with digestive aid dispencers on both sides.

the pregnant faun will be put in this pen around 3 days before birth, they wait until this point so that the fauns are the least stressed when they give birth which will prvent neonatal canibalism. you should have at leat half of the cluster bred at one time so that none of them get lonely.

usually beoir crates arent needed for unlicenced faun breeds, they will be more comfortable in a nest they build of fur. with breeds with brush hair you will need to check the babyguys legs daily to prevent hair tourniquet syndrome, usually farmers will tie up or braid the beoirs hair to prevent this.
