Hello all and Happy New Year-
I'm trying to find one of those mechanical models like we had in
gradeschool that shows planetary motion. Remember, little tabletop model
withthe sun in the middle and a series of gears moving the planets
around it, some even had the moon on a separate gear around earth. Do
these things have a name? I swear I have tried everything I can think of
on a web search and its coming up zilch. MODEL, KEPLER, PLANET(s)(ary),
MECHANICAL, MOTION, SOLAR SYSTEM, ORBIT----all failed in various
combinations. Any ideas?
