These are really geared reduction motors, but much smaller and of lower power. Often used to operate cams and switches in electrical circuits, or to drive displays, they can generally be operated in continuous applications if not heavily loaded. Most are about 2" dia. x 1-1/2" thick. Remember CW means “Clockwise” and CCW “Counter–clockwise,” looking at the shaft.

So the poster is really brand new. The animals on it are (1) to (190) million years old, and if that doesn't qualify as pre-history, may we stumble over a glyptodon in the dark. Invicta Plastics Ltd. of Leicester, England, printed this 23" x 16-1/2" poster with a colorful diorama to promote their authentic scale models of prehistoric animals. A time line across the bottom lists dates and data for a dozen of them, from the plesiosaur to the woolly mammoth, and compares their sizes to that of a pair of five-year-old children. Post it on the fridge to spark supper discussions, or in the classroom as a source of extra-credit questions for science quizzes.

Big time spinner in a little package. This 1-1/16" long x 5/8" x 15/32" motor from Mabuchi spins at approx 6600 rpm. The 5-11.5 VDC motor, nominally rated for 8VDC 100mA, it has an 8-tooth, 3/16" dia x 1/8" plastic gear and 5" leads with a quick-disconnect terminal. Stall current is 450mA. Think of all the fun ways to use this in a science fair!
