Obtaining Whirring Contraptions
The best grindable way to obtain Whirring Contraptions is by doing the 
Missing Woman carousel in 
Wilmot's End, taking 5.5 actions per Contraption. See here for a guide.
If a tier 2 PoSI, an alternative is to get Whirring Contraptions via the assemblage of ticking brass, a reward from Hearts' Game. This is fractionally slower than Wilmot's End (6 vs 5.5 actions per Contraption), but offers an additional 
Brass Ring worth 12.5 so is likely to offer a better EPA.
Players who have progressed to part 5 of Evolution can wear the 
Shattered Mask while zailing to efficiently obtain Whirring Contraptions via 
Rosy Colours Leaping on the Wall zee dreams. It takes 8 card draws to payout and reset the dream, with each 8 card cycle giving 4x Whirring Contraptions (11x for the first cycle). Ignoring the first-time payout, this gives you a rate of 2 actions per Contraption, though the rarity of the card makes this impossible to actively grind.
