The base of the display - a circular platform supporting a 12V power supply, mains connector and motor speed controller. Attached to the base is a spidery gantry holding a slip ring (from an automotive alternator), a big bearing mount, and a semicircular ridge used by a photointerruptor for synchronisation. Also visible is a motor held by a 3D printed mount.
