I have found this circuit and I was wondering what it did. Does it control how long a motor is running?https://www.google.com/search?q=6+volt+timer+55+motor+control+circuit&safe=strict&biw=1607&bih=834&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMI28KE9-KkyAIVkKWICh2bxQ23#imgrc=TVAXCdSBnuQRPM%3A

This circuit allowed you to change the speed of a motor by using 555 as a PWM generator. The speed is changing from almost 0 RPM up to the maximum RPM the motor can run.
