The small motor that rotates a fixture around the light. Before this motor, there was a weight that took 2 1/2 hours to descend and it rotated the fixture as it descended. At the end of the 2 1/2 hours, the lighthouse keeper would have to climb the lighhouse and reel the weight back up to the top to rotate the fixture for another 2 1/2 hours.
