A
motor driven turntable has a vertical post mounted near
the rim. Collimated light projects the shadow of the
moving post on a rear mounted panel at the back of the
exhibit. The velocity of the shadow is sinusoidal. A
pendulum swings along the rear of this exhibit with
a small circular screen as its bob. The visitor is instructed
to start the pendulum in sync with the moving shadow
of the post. With a little practice, the pendulum can
be started at just the right moment to keep the post's
shadow on the pendulum's moving screen.
