Tumbler Gear Mechanism
A quick-action change of gear direction is utilized in this model. In effect, an additional idler gear is inserted in the gear train when it is desired to change the direction of rotation of the output shaft. This is controlled by an operating lever in much the same manner as the lead-screw lever of the engine lathe.

“Better one model in a student´s hand - than 50 models in an elegant cupboard” !
By using them this way, the handy models allow a fascinating approach to the laws
of classic mechanisms and machine elements to learn their classification,
motion changes, accelerations, torques etc...
Calculations of gear/pulley
ratios and dimensions, shaft distances, mating technical
drawings are only a few of the many interesting and valuable tasks provided by these superb models.
Using the wide array of components from the AUTOMAT Construction Kits System,
every creative designer can build his own special model machines in a fast and easy way - as both systems (AUTOMAT and COMPACT) use the same components.
In total the COMPACT Series represents an almost complete cross-section of the wide field of mechanics and gear technics which is constantly extended.
