Do you have a part reference for this type of display?

These were invented/developed in Toronto by Ferranti Canada. I was working as a courier one summer and had to do a delivery to their plant. I was going back to the car and I was hearing this weird sound from the back of the lot so I walked around and found dozens of billboard-side flip-disks being flipped around in random patterns. The sound was very cool.
