Abstract

Apparatus for incrementally altering the position of an object. The apparatus incrementally rotatably advances a turret by sequentially displacing a plurality of plungers. Each plunger when displaced moves along a linear axis to slidably contact and move along a sloped surface on the turret to generate a lateral force which incrementally rotates the turret a desired distance.
