An improved stationary roller shaft of a gear assembly for an air turbine starter is provided. The air turbine starter may be used to start a gas turbine engine, such as may be found in aircraft, ships and military vehicles. The stationary roller shaft is formed of a material having a hardness of at least 66 Rockwell C and having a low inclusion content rating, thereby providing improved wear and/or fatigue properties.

The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1 wherein the means for supporting the base attaches the base to one of a side portion, a front portion, and a back portion of a vehicle, to enable a driver of the vehicle to achieve the desired orientation in order to view an area external to the vehicle. 4. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, wherein the means for supporting the base comprises at least one of a strap, a clamp, a suction cup, an adhesive layer, a fastener plate, a stand that supports the wireless remote controlled mirror on a surface, and a wireless remote controlled mirror to an object. 5. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, further comprising a lens housing in which the reflective lens is mounted, the lens housing including an opening through which a reflection in the reflective lens is viewed, and a back disposed opposite the opening, said back comprising a positioning surface that is coupled to the prime mover and is pivotally mounted to the base. 6. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 5, further comprising: (a) a threaded shaft rotatably connected to the prime mover and having driving threads along a substantial length of the threaded shaft; and (b) driven threads disposed on the positioning surface that engage the driving threads of the threaded shaft, rotation of the threaded shaft causing the lens housing and reflective lens to pivot. 7. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 5, further comprising an additional prime mover that is mounted to the base and is in electrical communication with the receiver, said prime mover pivoting the reflective lens about a first axis and said additional prime mover pivoting the reflective lens about a second axis that is generally orthogonal to the first axis, in response to the wireless command signal. 8. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 7, further comprising: (a) an additional threaded shaft rotatably connected to the additional prime mover and having driving threads along a substantial length of the additional threaded shaft; and (b) additional driven threads disposed on the positioning surface that engage the driving threads of the additional threaded shaft, rotation of the additional threaded shaft causing the lens housing and reflective lens to pivot about the second axis. 9. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, further comprising a battery power supply that provides electrical power to energize the receiver and to selectively energize the prime mover in response to the wireless command signal. 10. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, wherein the prime mover comprises an electric motor with a drive shaft that is rotatably coupled to the reflective lens. 11. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises one of a radio frequency receiver, an infrared receiver, a microwave receiver, and an optical receiver. 12. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, further comprising a local controller electrically connected between the receiver and the prime mover, and providing a drive signal to the prime mover in response to the wireless command signal. 13. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 12, further comprising a sensor in communication with the local controller and capable of detecting motion of the reflective lens. 14. The wireless remote controlled mirror of claim 1, wherein the remote controller comprises: (a) a power supply; (b) a wireless transmitter connected to the power supply; and (c) a position switch connected between the power supply and the wireless transmitter, such that when the position switch is activated, the wireless transmitter transmits the wireless command signal to the receiver indicating a direction in which t
