Moving maps displays - ancient mechanical!

Folks,

As opposed to the slinky digitial GPS based moving maps of today, where could I find a good explanation of how the old paper (?) based types worked.

Seen a picture today of one in a Trident, and the display looked about a foot square...can't imagine how much map was available!
