Displaying core states

Somewhere in my boxes of stuff I've got one of the tape "visualizer" cards.
Its looks like a translucent grey plastic card and when you hold it over a
magnetized surface it shows the magnetic "spots" by turning white (what it
actually does is rotate a flat magnet in the card that is white on one side
and black on the other.) I got this from Edmund Scientific in the mid 70's
I believe. Anyway, some variation on this would work on cores.
