Does anyone have a photo of the eye mech inside the Animal fisher price toy?

This has come up many, many times over the years....these are not photos of the actual Animal puppet, but a diagram of the puppet's mechanism and photos of a similar one originally created by Terry Angus:

If you're looking for more information on building puppet eye mechanisms, two good resources are the book Figure Making Can Be Fun?!?! and the DVD From Sketch to Show: Building Mechanisms.
