      >Roullet-Decamps was one of the most famous French automata makers. The company was founded in 1865 by Jean Roullet and took the name Roullet-Decamps in 1889, ten years after the marriage of the daughter of Jean Roullet to Ernest Decamps, a mechanic by profession. The company ceased operation in 1995.

      >The rabbit in a cabbage is one of Roullet-Decamps signature automata. When wound up the rabbit rises from the cabbage, turns and nods its head, opens and closes its mouth, pricks up its ears and ducks back down into the cabbage.
