Abstract: A four position interlacing apparatus includes an interlace mirror of electromagnetic material, and an interlace mirror support member of magnetic material having a faceted surface for supporting the interlace mirror. The supporting surface has a centrally disposed ridge from which a pair of downwardly sloping facets extend at first preselected interlace angles to form ridges with a pair of downwardly sloping facets extending therefrom at second preselected interlace angles, and a corresponding plurality of bars of non-magnetic material for dividing each facet between the ridges to form a plurality of magnetic core members. Each bar of non-magnetic material extending vertically downward to aperture forming walls of the support member, said support member having solid reel bars formed in the apertures with a plurality of coils surrounding the reel bars.

Abstract: A radiant energy interlace system comprises an electromagnetic radiant energy reflector means having a magnetic core which includes a reed mirror portion and a body portion. The reed mirror portion is either a polished plate or frame of magnetic material holding a mirror and the body portion is of magnetic material having a center section with a centrally disposed ridge from which downwardly sloping surfaces extend to solid bar reel sections surrounded by coils of conductive wire. End sections of magnetic material having sloping surfaces for continuing the sloping surface of the center section complete the body section. A circuit is connected to the coils for alternately energizing the coils to magnetize alternate portions of the reed mirror portion to rotate the reed mirror portion about the fulcrum ridge of the center section. The slope of the body portion surfaces is equal to one half of the desired interlace angle.

Abstract: An infrared scanner includes an infrared energy reflecting surface rigidly fixed to a supporting shaft. The shaft is supported by jewel bearings for rotation by a motor controlled by a control circuit for imparting a scanning motion to the reflecting surface. A collar interconnects the shaft to an electrical coil which is energized by a two-directional source of power. A magnetic means includes a pair of "U" shaped members forming a housing of electromagnetic material for containing a pair of opposing magnets. The legs of the "U" shaped members support a coil pole in an air gap forming relationship with respect to the magnets.
