a motor driven panoramic mounting for cameras which provides an automatic pan range and the ability to pan over 360 degrees . mechanical actuators on a fixed base act upon a turnstile on a shaft on the rotating table , with the turnstile shaft also rotating two cams that actuate three limit switches . one cam acts upon a single limit switch which determines the automatic range and reverses the table motion at the ends of the automatic range . the other cam acts on two end limit switches which stop the motion . the action of the turnstile and switches brings the table back to the preset automatic range regardless of where it is directed when it placed back in the automatic mode .
