They're a pretty little motor. Fully encapsulated, VIBRATING motor, about
the size and shape of 3 stacked dimes. They have a pair of gold contacts on
the top to attach power to, and shake like the dickens! If you pull the top
off (it's a safe operation), you see a strange rotor assembly of 3 coils
(arranged in the position of 3 of 4 pie-slices) which can drop right out.
I've only ever seen 3, and I'm keeping my two for a rainy day.
Too bad they weren't available in a balanced version.

that's right. Yes, I know it looks like "HOCKYRINK." Yup, only
2 vowels. Pronounciation? _SMITH_".
