Clockwork Waveplate - A half-wave plate model using gears

Here's a clockwork model of a Half waveplate, and how it changes the polarization of light that's input to it.

The labels are the extreme points of the Poincare sphere, and are Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal (+45deg), Antidiagonal (-45deg), Right-handed circular, and Left-handed circular.
