Animated 3D model of an intermittent action tangent drive commonly called a Geneva Action or Maltese Cross Action.
Sometimes used in movie cameras and projectors to advance film one frame.
Originally drawn with AutoCAD R14 then rendered and animated in 3D Studio MAX 2 this animation has been updated in 3D Studio MAX 9
So the "star an Moon"-symbol of the muslims combined with the knights of malta's symbol makes an interesting mechanism....hmmm....
