Abstract
A simplified reversible drive especially adapted for models and toys, utilizing two parallel and spaced apart drive discs with opposing faces rotating together in tandem, a third reversibly driven disc disposed between and perpendicular to the pair of discs, and means to selectively bias the third disc against either one of the said opposing disc faces to produce selected rotation in one direction, and against the other opposing face to produce selected rotation in the other direction, all of which is easily assembled by a hobbyist, without the use of special tools, and incorporating in a light and/or sound effect producing circuit including a motor for rotating the drive discs, a background sound effect and lighting effect producing circuit element connected in series with the armature of the motor, and a normally open magnetically operated switch which is periodically closed by a magnet mounted on one of the discs to produce punctual sound effects.
