The shape of the apparatus is such that the base is at least partially spaced from the post. Torque transmission cylinders are movably located between the post and the base in the aperture, and are capable of contacting both simultaneously. A reversing hub is non-elastically connected to the torque transmission cylinders and can move the cylinders to allow reversing of the wrench.

In one embodiment a single knob for the entire device operates a drive-chain which is capable of separately engaging the pair of rollers for each film. In another embodiment a control knob and a one-way mechanism is provided for each roller pair to permit the film to be wound precisely back and forth without any binding of the film. The device can be used for facial identification.
