1. A logic mechanism comprising:
a driven element;
a mechanical output; and
at least one mechanical input;
the mechanism being configured such that the position(s) of said input(s) determine whether elements of the mechanism are aligned to form a path to transmit movement of said driven element to said output, in which case movement of said driven element is transmitted to said output, the elements of the mechanism otherwise being positioned such that they do not form any path for transmitting motion of said driven element to said output.
