Sanitarium Hints
How does the strange device work?
1 of 10: The hand wheel controls the dial above it. The switch on the right locks the positions of the dial. Pulling the chain resets everything.
2 of 10: To the left is a large round cover with locking clips.
3 of 10: Your objective is to open all of the clips. Each time you pull the switch, a set of clips reverses. (Any which were open, close; and any which were closed now open.)
4 of 10: Naturally, there is a specific order in which to set the dial.
5 of 10: What else has a dial?
6 of 10: Look at the clock in the study.
7 of 10: Turn the hand wheel to the first position and pull the switch to set.
8 of 10: Continue with the next setting and repeat the process.
