   Hello, all, and perhaps a question for the "seniors" in the ng:   
      
   Back in the 1950s-1960s era one often encountered countertop (or larger)   
   cardboard product displays that were animated by a simple back-and-forth   
   battery-powered motor consisting of one or two permanent magnets, a   
   coil, and make-break contacts.  This type of motor was also used in a   
   wig-wag target, photoelectric shooting gallery toy I had.  Is there a   
   name for this type of motor?  Googling on "reciprocating dc motors"   
   doesn't provide any hits for this type (getting the right key search   
   words - always an issue).  Thanks for your time and comment.  Sincerely,   
   --
