Now don't be too hasty. I did have a ham friend who had a small TV type rotor on the boom of his 3 element CC 6 meter beam so he could go vertical for FM or horizontal for SSB. I never did ask how the tuning worked, but I assume ( hate that word) he used a tuner. Or he didn't care!

I don't think you would use a positioner to change polarity, did you perhaps mean polarization (polarisation)?

Before my retirement, I worked in the Antenna Division of a large defense company that designed and built electronic systems for various branches of our military. We had both indoor and outdoor antenna ranges, eight in total. All of our positioning devices we simply called "positioners". All of these ranges had positioners for azimuth, elevation, and antenna polarity.
All in all, seems to be more descriptive word!
