    (54) Drive system


    (57) . A drive system is particularly suited to operating a roller about which an article has been wound such as a shutter, door or screen. The drive system has a cylindrical housing (10) in which a drive motor (11) is located and at one end of the housing is located the drive output shaft (14) from the motor (11). A brake or other holding means (25, 26) is located towards the opposite end of the housing (10) to the drive shaft (14) so that the motor housing can be operated to a braked condition. Control means actuate the motor and the brake in the operational sequence desired.
