What could be this moving contraption that the Buddha mentions in SN 22.100 Gaddula Sutta- the Leash ?

thatās a good one
contraption: a mechanical contrivance; gadget; device.
there seems to have been quite a few āmechanical contraptionsā available at the time of the Buddha.
i would guess it was no one thing in particular.

Alternative translation is that itās a picture called āmovementā.
