It's an automatic.
They have an "unbreakable"mainspring.
Meaning......you can wind as long as you like but when the spring has fully coiled around its centre post, the tail of the spring will slide around the outside of the spring container.
That is unlike a fully "manual wind" spring that is attached to the outside edge of the spring container, you wind these until you feel a definite stop which means the spring is stretched between the centre post (in a coil) and the tail is held at the side or wall of the spring container.
If you keep winding one of these (by using gorilla fingers) you either tear the tail of the spring away from the side of the container, or bust the little tooth hole in the centre part of the spring.
So.......................................
Wind until you feel a change in resistance or a "slipping" feel. Your auto should then be fully charged.
