A mainspring is a spiral ribbon of spring steel that serves as a power source for mechanical watches, metronomes, music boxes, and wind-up toys. When wound up, via a knob or key, the spiral is made tighter and stores energy to power a device. Expanding pitch sets and gradually increasing rhythmic divisions are used to represent the winding up of a mainspring and provide the energy and momentum that propel the work.
