Abstract
A device for rotationally moving a mirror includes a mirror mount connected to a pivot lever . A motor having a lead-screw moves the lead-screw in a linear manner along an axis . An elongated angled member is connected to the lead-screw and abuts the pivot lever . The elongated angled member is set at a non-parallel angle with respect to the lead-screw so that as the lead-screw is moved along its axis the elongated angled member causes the pivot lever to pivot, and in turn, causes the mirror to rotate.
