It will be mush easier to understand some things if you buy the cheapest analog clock and carefully disassemble it to analyze the mechanism. Or maybe find a youtube video of such mechanism - I did not search. | |

| Oct 9, 2019 at 15:06 | comment | added | Namrouch | Thank you for the answer; At least I do know it would be hard to use gear mechanisms. However, my issue is that I fail to understand how even 2 independent motors would move 2 arms placed on the SAME axis... | |

| Oct 7, 2019 at 19:48 | comment | added | jsotola | you could use one motor, but then you would require a solenoid operated transmission of some kind | |
