    "Electric Spirograph"
    Hi,

    In 1971 or '72, my father had bought a toy that was called (or at least resembled) a battery-operated Spirograph.

    From what I remember, it stood upright and there were two slots where you could put transparent glass/plastic discs that had various Spirograph-like designs on them.

    After inserting, you would turn the machine on and it would rotate the disks and project light through them onto a common projection screen -- by varying the rotational speed of the disks you could alter the rotational harmonics on the screen.

    Was very cool to a three year-old.

    What I am looking for is: the name? Who was the manufacturer?

    Thanks

    Doug

    Kenner made Spirographs.

    Look at these:
