Lever mechanism from the side85 viewsThe plastic square-section on the driven (right) shaft is a tight fit, allowed to slip, whilst the piece on the left shaft (attached to the lever) is super-glued on. The two are connected by a length of brass wire.
When the driven shaft turns, the right-hand piece turns with it, pulling the brass wire and ultimately the lever with it, until a further piece (behind) hits one of the detents that are glued to the wall of the casing.

you'll also note that I ran out of flags and had to fill the space with "concrete"!
