And it was "used" (read: provided in the kit) in 2001-2002, not 2000.
I once saw it on a website for $ 500, it's used in airplanes and stuff like that. They had a demo at the 2001 kickoff where that motor and a servo were used as a writing arm, with a pen on the end. It had a leverage big enough for the motor to appear ultra slow, compared to the normal speed where you couldn't tell whether it was moving or stopped.
