Abstract
A remotely adjustable mirror assembly in which a reflective member is supported on a tilting mechanism which includes a pair of selectively movable ramped cams. The cams are coupled to gripper devices to grip or release a member which is reciprocated by a pair of alternately energized solenoids. The gripper devices are also solenoid operated and include either a recessed head or a double-gag plate head to grip or release the reciprocating member. A multiposition, joy-stick operated switch provides eight operating modes for selectively adjusting the position of the member in azimuth, or elevation, or both. A pulse generator producing two trains of oppositely phased pulses is connected through the multiposition switch to the solenoids for the reciprocating member. Two types of switch are described.
