I Came across this in an old magazine never seen anything like it I think it works a bit like a wobble bar but not sure, has any one seen anything like it or even got one and knows how it works.
Cheers

Thanks Michael
That's a lot clearer I thought the part that houses the mechanism was solid.
And thanks for the links I'll dip into them later.
Much appreciated
There was one sold on US ebay late last year, a number of photos are on the webpage, including case and instructions.
Went for $10. I'll attempt a link.
… and here, thanks to Clive's reference, is the Patent on Espacenet: **LINK**
