The apparatus consists of epicyclic gear stages with 3 planet wheels each. Transmission ratios can be realised by blocking single wheels. The gears are driven using a hand wheel. The Wheel is marked the degrees and output shaft is connected to the disk with the degree marked to show the movement.

The transmission ration can be easily calculated by the help of attached degree scales. A transparent safety cover prevents unintentional contact with rotating parts.
