Abstract: An indicating device including an indicator having a plurality of information bearing surfaces adapted to be movable from a first position to a plurality of second positions. The indicating device includes an armature member coupled to the indicator and adapted to pivot about an axis with the armature member having a plurality of radially extending armature pole pieces disposed at its opposite ends. A stator member having a plurality of pole pieces disposed adjacent each armature pole piece and in a spaced apart relation therefrom such that when the armature member pivots about is axis, one of the armature pole pieces rotates toward one of the stator pole pieces, and the other of the armature pole pieces rotates away from the other of the stator pole pieces.
