How To Use Mr. Baird's Amazing Mechanical Televisual Apparatus

View the animation through the rotating CD directly above the light bars. Note that it takes 10 seconds or more for the motor to come to speed and the animation to become stable.

Press the pushbutton to change the animation sequence. Be careful of the rotating tab hitting your fingers.

Remove ghost images and improve the display by cutting out a mask from cardboard and sticking it over the light bars. See template below.
