’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

A driving device was designed and fabricated using large integration for activated wire counting. The salient points of this setup are presented with reference to reactor flux mapping. They are (a) easy positioning, (b) adjustable speed of motor rotation by varying time sequence, (c) reversible motor rotation, and (d) on-line operation of several units. The device can be used for routine flux mapping and reactor experiments.
