I got one! I got one!

555: This unit is incomplete. It's the rotor for a wind sound FX machine
for live theater. It sits in a box, that it just fits into - the metal
sleeve (there's another on the other end) fits into a notch at the end
of the box. A piece of silk is fastened along one edge of the box so that
it can be draped over the drum, covering the whole top
hemisph^H^Hcylinder? - well, you know what I mean. Anyway, when the crank
is turned, it goes, Whooosh! WhooOOOoooosh! and so on.

At least, that's how the one I saw worked. :-)

Cheers!
