nothing, I just picked some numbers to see what happens when it slows down. With the wonders of SMath you can just change the numbers at the beginning and it alters all the arithmetic

And in the video (thanks Michael) what about those missing gear teeth from about 4:10?

Ensuring synchronised re-engagement has to be yet another clever piece of the design.

Albeit set by hand, that was a problem I encountered during the design and construction of the mechanism for a popular TV game.

The missing teeth were, I believe, an improvement introduced after the original build

I do have some information about the modification, but cannot locate it at present.
