Hello, all, and perhaps a question for the "seniors" in the ng:
Back in the 1950s-1960s era one often encountered countertop (or larger)
cardboard product displays that were animated by a simple back-and-forth
battery-powered motor consisting of one or two permanent magnets, a
coil, and make-break contacts. This type of motor was also used in a
wig-wag target, photoelectric shooting gallery toy I had. Is there a
name for this type of motor? Googling on "reciprocating dc motors"
doesn't provide any hits for this type (getting the right key search
words - always an issue). Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,
- posted
