Indexer invention

I thought some of you might appreciate this elegant indexer that was invented in 1971, and made it into the Smithsonian as the 28th "basic mechanism" ever invented. The cool part is that this thread was just recently started by the inventor himself. Who would have ever thought of a use for gears with a non-integer number of teeth?
