1. A mirror glass adjustment system comprising:

  • inner and outer mounting elements arranged in close proximity, at least one of said elements being movable selectively relative to the other;

    resiliently biased clamping means for releasably coupling said mounting elements one to the other;

    a mirror glass fixedly mounted to a movable one of said mounting elements;

    electromagnet means selectively energizable to control the degree of coupling said mounting elements;

    a source of electrical power;

    switch means connected between said electromagnet means and said electrical power source operates selectively to place said electromagnetic means in energized and deenergized conditions; and

    said mirror glass capable of being manipulated to assume a selected orientation upon relative change in the dispositional relationship of said inner and outer elements in one condition of said electromagnet means and fixed at said selected orientation in the other condition of said electromagnetic means.
