Abstract: An information board includes display bands having information printed thereon mounted on wind-up rolls, the wind-up rolls being mounted on an axle. A wind-up motor is used to rotate the axle when the motor is rotated in a first direction to wind-up a display band, thereby changing the information shown on the display band. The information board further includes a mechanism which changes the rotational motion of the motor, when rotated in the opposite direction, to axial motion for moving the axle axially. Coupling elements are mounted on the axle to engage a selected wind-up roll when the axle is moved in the axial direction.
