    Abstract: A page turning device for use with any bound pages such as books, music scores, or binders, which have small ferrous elements (14) attached to the edge of each page. The device uses a motorized arm (16) with a magnetic tab (17) mounted on the end to engage individual pages and turn them in either the forward or reverse direction. The magnetic tab (17) is raised during a page turn, but rests in a downward position between page turns so as to not interfere with manual manipulation of the pages. The device further incorporates foot actuated user switches (12,13) which control the mode of operation and cause the device to turn a page in the appropriate direction.
