Museum of History of Science at Oxford Reconstruction of 18th-century Simulation
The Museum of History of Science at Oxford, as part an exhibition, showed the 18-century simulation of the transit of Venus made by Benjamin Martin, a maker of scientific devices discussed in many places, including "Fire in the Sky: Comets and Meteors, the Decisive Centuries, in British Art and Science" by R. J. M. Olson and J. M. Pasachoff.
Their Website, http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/venus/html/reconstruction.htm, shows three movies of the device in operation.
