In the falling baker film for 8, now available on YouTube, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZjObQW247Q) there appears to be an anachronism.
In the film for "eight clocks", if you listen carefully you can hear a rapidly ticking clock, like an old wind-up watch or certain late-60s battery-powered wall clocks. Think of the "theme music" for TV's 60 Minutes. These ticks occur at 1/4-second intervals, yet the antique clocks pictured are presumably pendulum driven, and as such tick-tock the half-seconds. Or if it does have a fast-moving pendulum that does 1/4-seconds (some William L. Gilbert clocks do this), the ticking heard on the film still sounds too modern to be generated by a pendulum.
